Digital Trail Camera Reviews

Welcome to our digital trail camera reviews. Hopefully I can help some of you with your digital trail camera buying decision.

The ads are tough to wade through. When I was looking for a digital trail camera in the summer of 2004 it about drove me crazy. How can you compare the features when the ads are surely only going to tell you the good things. I couldn't find digital trail camera reviews anyplace on the web so I decided to try to buy what I thought was the best digital trail camera available for the money. So far I have not been disappointed but I have realized that you do not truly know which one is the best until you actually try them out. I couldn’t find any place where anyone had objectively looked at several cameras so I thought that I might as well take a shot at doing digital trail camera reviews myself.

Reading the few digital trail camera reviews that I found were helpful, but if the reviewer only owned one game camera how do they really know if it is truly better than any of the others? I wanted to get information from someone that had used more than one.

To try to provide as much information as I can I'm going to try out as many digital trail cameras as I can to add to this review. I'll then grade them here, as well as write a complete page on them. You can go to those pages for more detailed information on each camera by following the links at the bottom of the page or by clicking on the trail camera name in the table.

There will be times that a page has not yet been written for an individual trail camera. I’m going to try to start getting information in this table as soon as I can and the complete page will follow.

The digital trail cameras have been graded relative to each other and of course the grades are subjective and are our opinion.

Since the grading is relative, the grades for each scouting camera can change. If I should get a camera that just blows all of the others out of the water, some of the grades would lower. Of course the opposite could happen as well.

You can click on the digital trail camera names to read the complete review of each one.

The last row in the table contains links to pages that describe how I arrived at each cameras picture quality grade. These pages should help you see the quality of the pictures taken by each camera.

Note: The prices may vary depending on the catalog or website that you look at for pricing.

Some of these digital trail camera manufacturers have other models available that would raise the grade and the price. More information is available on each trail camera page.

Sometimes it is hard to use words to describe what you think, so feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.

We now use NiMH rechargeable batteries in most of our digital trail cameras. You can read more about them here.
