Anyone heard any rumors about interesting new cams coming out this year? I've been checking websites but haven't seen anything interesting yet.
The ones I have only use 4 AA batteries.Not exactly new but Moultries Micro cams intrigue me. Use for surveillance . Small in size easier to hide and black flash. Not to great flash distance and only 6 batteries . . . . .
I have a moultrie 42i and it was pretty goodNot exactly new but Moultries Micro cams intrigue me. Use for surveillance . Small in size easier to hide and black flash. Not to great flash distance and only 6 batteries kind of worries me how many pics before they give out. At about $70 may be worth a try.

If memory serves the L series regular (red) flash is the one that's out. They said the black flash won't be out for a while; maybe next year. They were threatening that the L series would be out of stock before they got the next shipment in. Found out it's only black and white, no color. I really like the concept of zero or one cell bill and not 24. They only take pics, no video, which was a disappointment. But, they were including a solar panel in a package deal for $0.Cuddeback came out with an L series for their cameras. The main hub isn't even on their sight yet.
This is the one situation where I don't mind a red glow camera - over big openings/food plots. Yes, deer may keep a greater distance from the camera at night due to the visible red flash, but red-glow-flash cameras can project light much farther into the dark than true black-flash cams, hence you can still get clear pictures of the deer at greater distances out into the field.Although this is a red glow cam, I've found that if the flash is set on "economy" mode, close up deer typically don't seem to notice the flash. I normally only add true black flash units, but due to this "economy" mode option setting, the Browning red-glow cams can substitute.
I may actually prefer them on large fields and food plots where I really don't care if the flash causes the deer to keep a greater distance after an exposure or two.
Agree with this completely.Also, for whatever reasons, deer don't seem to spook as much from flash when they're out in the open in a field, as they do on a woodland's scrape (or any setup in thicker cover).
