Hello all - Does anyone have much experience with using digital game cameras/video recorders in the field? I have used 35mm versions before, but photo quality was not that great.
I am placing cameras up at remote garbage bin sites to look at black bear use/feeding behavior as part of a food aversion conditioning project. We are hoping to be able to identify some individuals, so I am looking for cameras that will provide good quality photos and/or video during all hours of the day. I am trying to avoid using a flash so as not to attract more attention to the cameras by these already curious critters... I have looked at several makes so far (Camtrakkers, Cuddebacks, M.A.D. Wildlife Eye video recorders). Any recommendations? What are some issues you have encountered, other things I should consider? It would be ideal to have the capability for infrared night images and video. I expect to check cameras every other day or so, so card storage space shouldn't be too problematic. Thanks very much, in advance! Regards, Kari D.
