2015 Brownings. the 5 and 7 are red IR. The 6 and 8 are Blackflash. These prices won't last long.

 

Both FHDs take incredible videos. The 6/8 blackflash cams take good quality night vids for black flash. Nighttime pics for the 6/8 are so-so at best, but serviceable. All vids are limited to 10 seconds at night, but don't let it stop you from buying. These cams can re-trigger video as fast as you can say "IlikebigbucksandIcannotlie." (Seriously)

 

All of these cams use multi-spot metering and not the average...meaning these cams adjust illumination and exposure on the fly to ensure a quality pic. This is nearly unique to Browning at the moment in mass market cams. I haven't seen another company do this yet, but maybe one exists...I know Moultrie, Primos, and Browning are not, and same w/Covert.

 

The 7 is the best overall value on a $ basis, as long as you don't mind red IR. I am very partial to blackflash due to buck avoidance, but I'd still buy the 5/7 in a heartbeat because of their performance (limiting their video use to plots and open areas or hung high aimed down). 

 

Are these cams infallable? No, but they are turning out to be the mass market cams of the year so far in 2015, especially after a dismal 2014 across the various manufacturers.

Do those cams allow the use of a cable lock? Kind of like the Coverts? I cant find any pics of the back of them anywhere.

 

 

**EDIT** Found pics of the back on trailcampro. They are setup for cable locks. I might have to scoop one up.

 

These are good buys - the 8 takes really good vids. The 6 is a better all-around pic/vid cam, but is 720p and has ever so slightly longer trigger/rearming. The day vids on the 8 are unreal and really good for night. Pics are washed out in day for some reason on this cam, but if I bought that it'd be a vid only...refires in less than two seconds after completing a video recording.

Buy the Brownings, that's my opinion on the Spypoint cams.

 

Spypoints are a decent cam, but they don't do anything great. The G4/Eclypse/BF6 can be had for some deals, but they're just OK at most things. Not bad, just not really getting a cam that can do things good or great - such as re-arming times or illumination distance. The 2015 models...underdeliver and are overpriced.
