Don't get the Moultrie M-80. Get the M-80XT. The "XT" version is the latest and it comes with the new motion-freeze technology which eliminates the blur on the infrared pics. The new version also has better battery life than the M-80. Big upgrades. I bought one back in June and I have extremely happy with the battery life (AAA batteries), quality of daytime photos, quality of nighttime photos, and ease of use. In fact, I just bought three more yesterday online for $120 each (shipping included). Here are several pics that I have gotten so far.

Primos 35 are the best for the money and a 3 year old could set them. You can find them for about $79 if you look. I had mine out for a month and they took about 4,000 pictures and only used about 30% of the battery life.

Primos are not only good cameras they customer service is excellent too. I had two PIR covers break for some unknown reason on cameras that were over two yrs old, well out of warranty and they replaced them. I just wanted new covers since the cameras worked fine but they gave me new cameras. That's hard to beat.

Trophy Cam by Bushnell the 8.0. I have 4 of them and the coons have chewed on them for 3 years and they still take 20k+ pictures each every year with one set of batteries. Very seldom do I get a whiteout or bad picture. I own Moultries, Wildgames, Primos as well, but they don't hold a candle to the Trophy Cams.

Love my Trophy Cams from Bushnell, too. I'm not a paid sponsor, either. They have a great track record for me. Good timing, good detection, good videos, good pictures. Battery life is awesome.

I have had all kinds spypoint, moultrie, etc they all have problems. I heard so many people talk about the truth cam 35 I bought 2 to try em out and so far no problems. I liked em so much I bought 2 more last week. The pics could be a little clearer but I'am not entering a photo contest I just want to see what is coming to feeders! The 2 I bought last week I got from Cabelas they were on sale $79.00.

The Primos 35 work great for me. They run off of D cell and they have great battery life. The 3.0 megipixel takes great pics.

My Moultrie has not done me wrong. Although the Bushnells are pretty good too.

Don't buy in to the wild game innovations cameras. They are cheap for a reason. Bushnell trophy line and moultrie cameras are quality without premium price

I used to love the Moultrie, when they were green and they opened from the bottom with one solid door.

The battery life of the Bushnell cannot be beat though.

Shame, the Moultrie sure did take great pics and lots of useful info on them.

I own 9 of the Bushnell trophy cams and I have at least 400k photos over the past 1-2 years and they work like a champ. The batteries last forever and the range is great.
