UPDATE: 07-01-10
Camera was out for 4 weeks and took almost 3K pics. I did not pull the card this time (a buddy did) but I know it was not dead because I had pictures of them going to turn off the camera last Saturday. The picture quality is very good during the day and average at night for the simple fact that the IR simply doesn't have quite enough power. Anything past 25' or so is very hard to see any detail on. Overall though I'd give this little camera a 9 out of a possible 10 on score.

I had a Stealth I-450. The pictures were great when it worked. I hooked up a 12V battery for the first few months, but then i had a problem with the battery port on the camera not working. I tested the battery and it was good and my cable was good. Tried to get customer service to help me and couldn't even get anyone on the phone. I decided to put batteries in it and this worked for awhile. It ate batteries. 6-C batteries every 2 weeks is not cost effective. Finally, it got knocked off a tree and stepped on by a cow. Doesn't work at all now. Stealth Cam customer service is a joke. After multiple attempts i never could get a real person to talk to. I won't buy another Stealth Cam.
I am looking at buying another camera. I've heard good and bad things about Moultries and Bushnells. Can't decide. I'm concerned about the nighttime pics on the Bushnell. Any recommendations?

UPDATE 09-13-10
Went to the lease last weekend for the 1st time in 3 months! Bushnell had 2,400+ pics on it and the batteries were dead. It lasted almost exactly 2 months on the 8 AA batteries. Daytime pictures were very good, nightime are a little dark when animals are more then 20' out. Battery life is still excellent and there were only about 5 pictures where there was nothing in the photo.
I've heard that the newest Bushnell trophy cam have like 6 or 8 more LEDs to add more light to night time pics. If so, this is the ony place that I can see for improvement of this camera. IMO, this is a great little camera for the money.

I ordered one today from Amazon. Supposed to be here Thursday. We are planning our first trip to the new lease in Sonora and plan on setting up some feeders. I'm planning on putting it out and see how it does. I've got two buddies that bought them this year and have had great luck with them. They've sent me some pictures and they look very good. One guy hunts Rocksprings and only changed his batteries out one time during the middle of deer season so he got several thousand pics from two sets from Sept through January.
Do any of you guys have one or have any input on them? Make sure you use a San Disc brand sd card not an off brand. Mine would not work with a cheapo I bought from Ebay and I called them. The units were designed around the San Disc because it is the best card it is hit or miss with off brands. Changed the card and it works like a champ. Night or day.

Bought 3 Bushnell Trophy cameras from Cabelas. Daytime photos are fine but the dusk/dawn and nighttime photos are worthless. I tried all types of adjustments but photos not useable other than daytime. Returned one to Cabelas within their return timeframe, but other two will have to work with Bushnell for some resolution. Gone back to my Moultrie D40s and picked up 2 Wildgame N2 cameras from Wal-Mart for $57 bucks and they do just fine with dusk/dawn and IR nite photos. Should have believed review/evaluation on chasinggame.com!!
