Trail cameras

Need user experience with trail cameras. I have seen nothing but poor reviews on the stealth cam 540IR. Don't want to waste time and money on a poor unit. Suggestions needed if you use a unit your happy with. How about the Moultrie Game spy 4.0 IR? Looking for moderate price with quick triggering. BBQGUY

get a cheapie first. i have used them for several years...they are great!we had a white-whitetail fawn around here a few years ago and we got some great pics thatway.it is a great way of getting an idea what size deer you have moving on your trails. it will also work as a survailince device if you can get by without a flash. i myself really recomend them.[:)]

[:)]I was thinking about getting one, my only concern was most of the affordable ones are 35mm and I was hoping to get a digital so I could view the pictures on the spot. They are still pretty expensive for the digital. I can picture myself racing back from getting the pictures developed to get in the woods if there is a nice buck on them. With the digital could just set up if somthing good comes around. What do you think worth the investment?[?]

You can learn to build your own trail cameras including digital units. You can build top of the line digital setups with 3.2 megapixel cams for a little over $200.
Here's some photos of one of my cams and some sample photos taken by it:

DON'T BE BUFFALOED BY EXPERTS AND ELITES. EXPERTS OFTEN POSSESS MORE DATA THAN JUDGEMENT, ELITES CAN BECOME SO IMBRED THAT THEY PRODUCE HEMOPHELIACS WHO BLEED TO DEATH AS SOON AS THEY ARE NICKED BY THE REAL WORLD.

Go digital Buckeyboy, think about all the money you will save in the long run. film, developing film, driving to drop off and pick up pictures from developing, the list is endless!!! [:D]
I ended up buying a digital camera like YOU suggested I do.
