[QUOTE="BSK, post: 3569380, member: 17"] Wes, In the past, I would have agreed with you. But with the 2013 models I've tested, I can now say Reconyx has fallen so far behind the Chinese brands in image quality, both night and day, that I'm having trouble justifying the continued use of my Reconyx cameras. They are reliable as heck, but [i]considering what I use trail-cams for[/i], the Reconyx cams can't hold up to the latest Chinese cams in image quality, and the difference is now so great, I'll probably be discontinuing the use of my Reconyx models. In addition, although the Reconyx cams are FAR more reliable than the Chinese cams, the reliability of the Chinese cams has increased enough, and the price of the black-flash models have fallen far enough, that it is now more economical over the long-haul to run Chinese cams. They have a higher failure rate, but at a price approaching $150 per unit, I can replace the 20% that fail annually, and still come out way ahead over $600 Reconyx cams, AND get far superior day and night pictures.
