I have a lot of experience with my 35mm Camtracker and it is very nice, commercial quality.
The downsides of it are price (over $400), 35mm (cost of film, develop, and print) as many prints are of does, squirrels, or varmits, etc. In a typical 24 exp roll, you many only have 5-6 sweet buck photos. The original camtracker camera is hardwired into the housing and cannot be used as a camera during the "off season".
The pluses is that it takes very nice photos with high quality Carl Zeiss lenses. It fuctions on lithium photos batteries and "C" batteries which last all fall/winter in all temps. It fuctions flawlessly as far as snapping the photo at the correct time to capture the deers walking/running photos....of course some are rump shots?
My buddy is looking at a digital and Iam interested too because Just like with my persoanl digital camera.....no waste on film, processing, etc......if you get alot of squirrels, etc....so what.
$100......the price is right.......1.3 megabytes should be good enough.
Picture quality.......I would like to see or hear about.
Battery life and costs per season......I would want it to be able to last 30 days in the winter.
I would hope the batteries were rechargeable.....so not to switch film costs for battery costs.
And lastly does it fuction well......flash, does it center the deer in the photo or get alot of nose or rump shots.
The new digital Camtracker has a Sony digital camera inside that is removeable for use during the off season but it is again pricey at I believe just over $400.
Cant wait to see and hear.
