This week I’m going to take a look at some of the features of many of today’s trail cameras. All cameras have their positives and negatives and I plan on discussing many of these topics along the way.

Film/Digital
Cameras that take pictures using film are quickly becoming a thing of the past. They were the first camera introduced for the use of wildlife surveillance. They were great when they were the only option available to hunters, but now digital cameras have been introduce. Film cameras only allowed 24 or at most, 36 pictures to be takes. With digital cameras and a 1+ gigabyte card, depending on the number of mega pixels your camera is, a hunter is able to capture hundred if not thousands of pictures without checking the camera. Also, instead of having to spend the money to get the film developed, you can easily insert the camera into a card reader or directly into your computer and view the pictures. There is no money wasted getting blank pictures developed.
