I have a Bushnell Trophy Cam and got disgusted with all the photos that were either missed because of the trigger speed, or you just got the end of the animal. On most of my Reconyx photos, it triggered right away, although on a couple it seemed like it should have picked it up earlier. Haven't figured out why yet. I also got a sequence of night photos on the Reconyx of an animal I couldn't recognize due to motion blur. Don't know what caused that since it didn't happen on any of my other photos.
I saw one review where it was said that the Trophy Cam took better photos than the Bushnell. True the Bushnell can take them up to 8 megapixel, while it is 3 on the Reconyx. But megapixels is only one factor in image quality, and usually only if you are going to do alot of photo editing on the jpeg images or if you are going to produce large prints. I would prefer a 5 megapixel because I do editing and would make framed prints if I got a photo I really liked. I use the trail cams not for tracking game for hunting purposes, but because I like wildlife and want to see what is roaming about on my property.
A few points:
- the HC600 has a black light for IR, so you can also use it as a security camera, which is one reason I purchased it. You can get the HC500 for $100 cheaper if you take the standard red light IR. Actually the HC500 has better flash range. Other than the IR, the 2 cameras are identical.
- get a good quality SD card like Sandisk. 8 gigabyte is plenty for me. Definitely get a Class 10 card though.
- I've had the camera only for 6 weeks or so, but am having problems with the Tenergy premium rechargeables that are recommended by Reconyx. They discharge much too quickly. I got no satisfaction from Tenergy customer support - they wouldn't make it right. So I would recommend Sanyo Eneloop instead - expensive but worth it.
- Check out other sites for pricing. The price is about the same everywhere, but with some sites you get 1 or more free accessories such as batteries/charger or a security box.
- One complaint I have is that the photos contain info lines at both the top and the bottom, and no way to make them optional as you can do with other trail cams. The bottom info line also has the name "Reconyx" on the lower line, which I thought was tacky to have forced advertising on your photos.
- These cams don't do videos, which I also would have liked.

I've had this camera for almost a year now and I'm still on my first set of lithium batteries. The quality is apparent when you hold it in your hand and after a year out in the weather it still performs like it did when new.
The motion sensor and fast trigger speed do help to catch game that's moving quickly but like any camera working in low light the animal is blurred by the slow shutter speed. Daytime pictures are clear and can capture animals that are moving without blur unless they are moving quickly.
My only disappointment is the night time IR flash range. There is no visible glow even when looking directly at the emitter but the advertised night time range is very optimistic. Like any trail camera it does better if mounted in an open location where sky glow or moonlight can help illuminate the scene. If you have it deep in the woods animals at 50 feet are just glowing eyes. At 30+ feet you get a ghostly image that leaves you generally identifying the animal by size and outline. At less than 30 feet details start to appear with the image getting better the animal gets. Placing the camera in a clearing, with open sky above, will get you the 50ft advertised range especially if there is a full moon.

I was looking for a quality deer cam and this is it. It's U.S. made and uses a CMOS sensor like the high end digital camera's. Picture quality is outstanding and pictures taken in complete darkness look like quality black and white photos. I mounted this camera in my back yard to do some test shots and was very surprised at the results. If you are looking for a quality trail camera and don't mind spending a few dollars more than the China made junk. This is the camera for you.
