buying my first trail cam

[phade]

I have tried everything from Cuddebacks to Bushnells to Wildgame cameras and hands down the best camera I have ever owned is the Moultrie Panoramic 150.  I am ready to throw the rest of my cameras in the trash (instead I will sell them on eBay).  I highly recommend the camera to everybody its very affordable awesome battery life and they have a 5 digit password so when your scumbag neighbors steal them (like mine did) you at least have the satisfaction of knowing they cant use it.  Speaking of trail cameras does anyone have any old junk cameras (I prefer non working I am just going to use them as decoys to catch the poachers/thiefs that have robbed me 2 of the last 3 seasons) that they are willing to sell? 

 

The P150 and imo more the P150i are game changers, but are still "specialty" cams that fit a niche rather than an all-purpose cam.

 

Plus, the curvature of the plastic housing can distort or give a fuzz to the pics. Which, to me I find acceptable as I want usable info.

 

The other issue is the fact moving parts are involved more on these cams and they are generally larger. Plus, you need to add in the fact that these cams are powered by C batteries and the eat ALOT of power. I'm really against anything other than AA powered cams at this point. Not sure why they went this route.

 

This cam is great for field edges and very very open hardwoods. It is not in my opinion a cam designed for trails. While a single shot mode is possible, it's built more for the field edge/food plot. It's also somewhat sizable - i know it is crazy to think that, but cams are the size of a soda can now, and in some cases, smaller.

 

I definitely want to get a P150i at some point for a particular food plot.
