Digital Trail Camera ReviewsThe homebrew digital trail camera market has almost dried up. Digital cameras that can be hacked to make trail cameras have become harder to find making it difficult to forge a business making them. This is a sad development in the digital trail camera market, since these cameras have performed so well for us over the years. There are still a few options for buying or making your own, but they are drying up more each year. The ads are tough to wade through. When I was looking for a digital trail camera 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. 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. I have also began to try to find good digital trail cameras for you to take a look at. Many of the major manufactured trail cameras have been disappointing so I'm now looking for some better options for you. 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. I will grade the digital trail cameras that I use here, as well as write a complete page on them. You can go to those pages for more detailed information on each camera 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. You will probably notice that the trail cameras that have received the best grades are those that use real digital cameras and are housed in Pelican cases. Some of these cameras have developed a leakage problem in heavy rainfalls. To remedy this problem I have been experimenting with sealing the seam with duct tape, electrical tape and lately inner tubes wrapped around the case seam. The inner tube has worked the best and you can see pictures of these here.

These Digital Trail Cameras Are Not Available, But Others From The Same Manufacturer Are Available These Digital Trail Cameras Are No Longer Available
Note: The prices may vary depending on the catalog or website that you look at for pricing. * The Treebark Camera 4.1 is made and shipped from Canada so the price will vary depending on the U.S. versus Canadian dollar conversion. 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.
