Bushnell 8MP Trophy Cam Standard Edition


Pleased in East Texas
I received this product and am very pleased. I've had a lot of luck with these small Bushnell cameras. Battery life is great and trigger speed is also quite good. For clarification, this IS the 2011 model with the field scan. Up to 8 Meg images. My only semi negative feedback would be that with field scan you can only set one time period, so if you are going to take images during the morning and evening periods you basically have to include the entire day or the entire night. The entire night would definitely wear down the batteries (IR flash). I imagine it is a simple software fix that Bushnell will put out in the future. I own Moultries at the same price point and far prefer my Bushnells. I simply can't choke out the cash for the Reconyx cameras. They are entirely too pricey to have a sufficient quantity of them to try to understand the deer herd on the size property where I hunt. I can get five Bushnells for the price of two Reconyx. My Bushnell from last season stood...
Great trail cam
I have owned several diffferent trail cams over the past 5 years. Some good, some just fair, some bad. The battery life and the fire up response time to take a picture is very important. I recently purchased 2 of these bushnell trail cams. Both the battery life and the response time for the Bushnell are excellent. Battery life is awesome, and the trigger time is so quick I rarely miss a picture. I can honestly say this is the best trail cam I have ever owned.
Excellent for hunting, not so much for surveillance (mod 119436C)
First, this review is for the 119436C model.

I bought this camera for surveillance at my business (kind of a bridge-the-gap measure until I can get an effective surveillance system installed.) The camera takes good color pics in the daylight, and good black and white pics at night. The consistently effective range of this is around 50 feet, with occasional pick ups at 80 feet. Part of the reason for this is most likely the clean background area, anything moving through the area is "framed" by dirt, no moving bushes or background noise that will cause false triggers or interference.

The pictures are good, but I have noticed some slight distortion away from the center of the pictures, a slight fish eye effect.

My main problem with this unit is that the led's do glow a noticeable red color which is pretty noticeable in dark environments. The flash catches the eye kind of like something flitting by. I plan to move this unit to a more lit area to...
