I'm wanting to get a trail cam or two and was wondering about what y'all think is a good cheap camera. Im considering the Wildgame Innovations Ir4. But I hear mixed reviews about every camera. Any ideas?
I used both the Moultrie D40 and the Wildgame IR4 last year.
I would highly recommend the D40 over the IR4
Both cameras cost about the same. $70ish
D40 Pros
-Excellent battery life. 6 D-cell batteries last up two months
-Can get a solar charger/battery for unlimited battery life
-Upt to 4 GB memory card
-Color Pics at night
-Can shoot video
-Laser Aim
D40 Cons
-Regular flash
IR4 Pros
-IR Flash
IR4 Cons
-Battery life uses 4 C-cell lasted up to two weeks
-No solar charger/battery
-Up to 2GB memory
-Black and white pics at night
-No Video
-No laser aim
The deer and other wildlife didn't seem to mind the regular flash. I got a ton of night pics and the deer would hang around for a long while and they kept coming back.
I think the D40 is the better camera. I bought two more for this year along with the solar charger/batteries.
You can get a Moultrie D50 at bass pro next week for $69. It's essentially the same as the D40 but with a 5mp camera instead of the 4mp on the D40. Hope this helps.
