[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 3569450, member: 1409"] BSK, I'm not particularly disagreeing with what you said, and do agree the Chinese cams have greatly improved on all fronts over just the past year or two. Who knows, Reconyx may be viewed in the future much like we view Cuddeback today. Once the "cat's meow", now made "junk" by being overpriced relative to their performance and the competition. But, it's hard to compare a crisp nighttime image from a Reconyx to no image at all (from a slower trigger speed cam). Also, regarding nighttime images, one must set the Chinese cams to take at least a 3-pic burst, with very little time between bursts, just in hopes of maybe getting a single image of value (most will be blurry if the deer is just walking). Some of my criticisms of all Chinese cams have much less validity when the cam is used over a salt lick. But I use mine often as a true "trail" cam, and the deer are walking. Often, 2 out of 3 pics are too blurry to be of value, and I spend much time regularly reviewing thousands of worthless pics. My issue is also one of my time. Seriously, I'm re-considering the merits of traditional white flash and/or the new LED white flash. It was really nice to have most of the nighttime images clear & crisp, and in vivid color. Maybe by mounting units higher off the ground, this may be a better way to go? [/QUOTE]
