What are the important specifications and features?

Probably need about 4 of them so what to optimize "bang for my buck".


Never owned any? How are you planning on using cameras? Trails, feeders, what?? If you are using on trails you need a camera with a fast trigger and picture recovery time. If you are using on feeders then that stuff is not as important.

Cameras come with either "red flash or black flash". Animals can see, (just barely) the faint glow of the red flash camera as it triggers at night. Black flash is covert, animals cannot see it for the most part!

Go to Trailcampro.com They do testing on many different cameras. You can read and see the test results!

Here's a really good deal! I have 2 of these! Great pics, battery life is good! Outstanding camera for the money. If I needed any more I would buy a couple more of these!
