They all suck. The one I found that sucks the least is Primos Truth Cam 46.

Wife lost her credit card. Noticed the charges were less, so I didn't bother to report it.

I have had reasonable luck with my Primos truthcam 35. I am looking to upgrade this year, but only for the higher pixel camera. Maybe a Truth Cam 60, or so...

I'm ready to throw my Wild Game Innovations out and replace the Reconyx. After all the money I've spent in the $150.00 range I could have just bought The Reconyx in the first place.

Want to have fun? Put 3 or 4 of them up in your back yard and do a walk test. Try it both day and night.

You'll be chapped.

Here is the best place I've found to research game cameras, tons of reviews, their related issues, fixes, etc. It has been around a long time, focuses on game cameras, and run by hunters.

I bought 3 Moultrie M45's this year for $99 each and they have been nice so far. I will say they eat battries quicker than I expected. But changing 4 "D" cells once a month isn't too bad.

All other aspects of the camera have been great.

So many choices and how do you decide... We use the Wildgame Innovations Pulse 10D. 10 megapixel and works very well. We have several on the ranches that we lease. We don't have them all over because we have 100,000 acres under lease. But we have quite a few and use a metal support stand so that we can aim them where we think they will do the most good. Here are a few recent pics to give you an idea what we are getting regularly. Hope this helps, we really like them. They are available at Academy Sports and use an easy to find SD card and 4 D cell batteries.
