Thread: Trail cameras

That will depend on the mp you set the cam to Spanners.

5mp about 55 per Gb
12mp about 22 per Gb

The bigger the card, the slower the trigger time. I use 8Gb Class 10 SDHC's.

Theres a class? what does that mean. I thought it was just GBs. Why longer trigger time with larger card?

Class is the cards speed
I wouldn;t have thought a bigger card would have any effect on trigger time, even the lowest class would me more than fast enough - its only a digi camera -not a full HD movie cam

I see

The response time in a bigger card can be slightly longer, especially when the card starts filling up. But the difference between .7 of a second and 1.2 seconds to arm the cam could mean missing out on seeing the beasts head and getting a pretty picture of it's arse instead.

The side facing triggers on my cams help with that because they arm the cam before the animal gets to the camera trigger sensor but on some it could be a slight problem.

I use a class 10 in my Panasonic Lumic GX1 and TS3 (HD footage) 16GB and 32GB cards.

But, I only use 8GB (class 4 cards) in my Moultrie M80's... had pretty good results with video mode recently.

3300 photos on my I Spy 55,not sure of the card rating.... was windy, got lots of bushes moving

Anyone have any knowlage on the acorn mms re. the water issue... im keen on one if somebody is getting any in...
