It has been a year since I decided to test and review the digital reconnaissance camera.Through these tests, I would like to give the hunters some good information to help them buy their own digital reconnaissance cameras.I think I 've done this and luckily I had a lot of fun doing the tests.I'm not sure how many photos I took, but over 10,000.I got the first Bobcat photo in the last batch and haven't got the coyote yet, but sooner or later I will get one.Getting each group of pictures is still exciting.I have used 11 digital reconnaissance cameras so far and am currently trying to decide which one I will try next.There are plenty to choose from.What have I learned in the past year?To a large extent, you get what you pay.Although there are some expensive cameras in the range of more than $300 is not much better than cheap cameras, in the range of less than $200, no camera is close to the range of more than $400.You can't beat the real digital camera in order to get good image quality.There are some hunters who don't care about the picture quality, but there is a difference.The higher megapixel reconnaissance cameras that have been introduced have improved over their predecessors, but they are more expensive and do not match the quality of the pictures.If the possibility of your camera being stolen is a factor in your hard decision.Cheaper cameras lack the ability to lock on trees, while better cameras have a safer ability to lock.It was a difficult decision.Buy a cheap scout camera, it's easy to steal, or buy a more expensive camera that's harder to steal.No matter what you do, don't buy an expensive one with no good locking ability.The latest is the IR model, and while it's too early in my test, im m is not fully sold.I am not sure about the pink black and white picture, I am getting a little spoiled by the high quality night picture.I don't believe these cameras are too vulnerable to theft either.The intruders will definitely see the flash, but the red IR lights are also very obvious and they will continue to light up for a few seconds.I think the flash may be mistaken for lightning while the red IR light is the real eye catcher.In terms of the theft of your digital reconnaissance camera, IR and flash may be a cleaning.The real advantage of IR may be the distance problem.The battery is a different manufacturer for me.I have a camera that uses AA rechargeable batteries and/or from a single 9-The head and shoulders of the Volt battery are higher than others.A major advantage of digital reconnaissance cameras is how low their operating costs are compared to 35mm.If you buy a lot of batteries, the advantages of the digital camera will be weakened. More importantly, this is the pain of the back end.In 2006, I will continue to buy and test digital Scout cameras and have fun watching another 10,000 photos and hope to help the hunting community in the process.You can read all the digital scout camera reviews on www.whitetaildeer-management-and-hunting.com.
