Decent Cam Deal: Spypoint

[phade]

Gander Mountain has an online sale on their new in-house model of a Spypoint cam, the G8. It appears to be a variant of the Iron 10 2015 model, with the only noticeable difference being 8MP vs. 10MP - which if you understand anything about modern cams, is just a difference in interpolation software (Luddite speak = not a big deal) and not the result of different internal parts.

 

Cam takes 720HD vids, and has solid blackflash illumination. Very simple operation. Only knock on this cam is the delay settings (goes down to about 10 seconds) and its subsequent re-arming. That shouldn't be an issue for the majority of hunters.

 

Cam is marked down to $99.99 and free shipping. By adding a clearance item (say a Duck Dynasty air freshner for $0.78) and inputting the code GMT5 into the discount box, the price drops down to $90.77. This is a solid deal for the cam.

i have some older spypoints. I want to say 2008ish? Not a fan, just never did a great job compared to some moultries i have bought during the same time.

These are pics from the prior Gander Exclusive, G4 I believe. They are certainly serviceable.

Quality was always good. Trigger speed was what bothered me.
