It seems to be able to serve it's purpose
Since I evaluate a lot of my purchases using Amazon.com reviews, I feel I should give my opinions on this trail cam. When it comes to trail cams, you pretty much get what you pay for. In the $1-200 range, it's gonna either be hit or miss among the same type of unit. If you want a good one, I hear Reconyx makes the best. Don't know from experience though. I know a lot...

Stealth Cam 1850
This camera sucks. The flash images are washed out. I ordered a lock system for my 1850 and the lock system sent fits over the cord to hold it to the tree and the lock system is sloppy and still had to go buy a pad lock. Pictures are grainy for a 8 mm. I've called the tech line at Stealth and it busy day and night and they won't answer my emails for the last three...

Horrible night shots, January 3, 2010
This review is from: Stealth Cam Jim Shockey "Sniper Pro" 8.0 Mega Pixel Digital Camera (Sports)
Nights shots are TERRIBLE! Overexposed, all pink and blue, blurry. Most animals come out at night, so if you can't get a decent night shot, what's the point? I would not recommend this stealth cam. No response to email questions about resolving this issue from the manufacturer.

terrible. doesn't work, December 20, 2009
This review is from: Stealth Cam Jim Shockey "Sniper Pro" 8.0 Mega Pixel Digital Camera (Sports)
It just doesn't do anything. It doesn't take pictures, doesn't store pictures, and "doesn't work with MAC". Look elsewhere.

so far...., January 24, 2010
This review is from: Stealth Cam Jim Shockey "Sniper Pro" 8.0 Mega Pixel Digital Camera (Sports)
very unsatisfied with amazon. i have alwasy liked aazon.my trail camera was expected to be delivered on the 22 and then got another update expecting it to be delivered almost another week later. bass pro shops ships items in almost three days. do not buy from here if you want it in under two weeks. it would be easier to buy from another online store. or even to drive somewhere and buy one. as though i think i will be impressed with teh camera. i havnt even gotten it.

Dont waste your money!!!, July 20, 2010
This review is from: Stealth Cam Jim Shockey "Sniper Pro" 8.0 Mega Pixel Digital Camera (Sports)
At first I was very impressed with this camera, now the more I have used it I am not so sure, I had a nice buck under the tree this morning at dawn and I took pictures of him from the house with my zoom lens and couldnt wait to see the close ups from my stealth cam, well the night shots of some does were fine but all the images from dawn of this nice buck were so washed out that you couldnt see anything, its like they were over-exposed. After some web browsing it seems this is a common occurance so I am searching for a better camera, any suggestions? Ok here is an update on my last review, after days of trying to get in touch with customer service and repeated images that are so washed out and bright that you cannot see a single thing in the image!! As a matter of fact I have added such a picture on the product page. Pay just a little more and find a better camera!!!

It seems to be able to serve it's purpose, July 14, 2010
This review is from: Stealth Cam Jim Shockey "Sniper Pro" 8.0 Mega Pixel Digital Camera (Sports)
Since I evaluate a lot of my purchases using Amazon.com reviews, I feel I should give my opinions on this trail cam. When it comes to trail cams, you pretty much get what you pay for. In the $1-200 range, it's gonna either be hit or miss among the same type of unit. If you want a good one, I hear Reconyx makes the best. Don't know from experience though. I know a lot of people have problems with this particular unit, and I am one of them...sort of. I had gotten this thing as a package with a First Champion 2GB SD card from Dick's and just opened it the other night. I popped the SD card in and took some pics. When I plugged it into my comp, the pics wouldn't load ("unable to view image" error). I took the memory card out, and took some pics having them save to the built in 38MB memory. This time I could view the images on my computer. I intially took the pics inside my white-colored rooms and they were very washed out due to the very bright flash, so I took it outside (where it was dark) and shot a few. In my opinion, the outodoor night picks turned out great, even on base (1.3mP) settings. Yes there was some white out on lightly colored objects. but it does what it needs to do.
So then I had to figure out the SD card issue because what's the point of using this thing if it can only hold 38 pics? After searching for people who had similar issues (seems to be problematic in other brands as well) and calling Stealth Cam, I figured it was the SD card I was using. Apparently, trail cams are very finicky with the types of SD cards they can read/write. It was recommended from Stealth Cam to use a SanDisk 4GB SD card with this unit. I got one and went home to try it out. Sure enough, the pics and video were now viewable on my computer. The daytime video turned out quite nice, too.
I can't give a review on durability, lifespan, or range since I only had it working since today. I will be testing it this coming season, so if anything breaks down or doesn't work properly I'll be sure to let you know.

Junk, don't waste your time or money., February 27, 2010
This review is from: Stealth Cam Jim Shockey "Sniper Pro" 8.0 Mega Pixel Digital Camera (Sports)
I bought this after my Moultrie was stolen. It was a package deal with lock, cable and 2 G. memory card. It would have been a great deal the camera worked. I configured the camera, formatted the memory card and locked it on a tree. Went out 2 days later and swapped memory cards. Brought the card home and plugged it in and had good pictures. Went back out a few days later, swapped the card out, came home and no pictures. Repeated a third time with the same results. Pulled the camera and brought home and tested. I validated it actually took pictures buy standing in front of it until the flash went off. Pulled the memory card, no pictures. I check the memory card in a Bushnell and the card is good. Don't waste your time or money. I now have to drive 50 miles to return it.
