Huntress Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I found these camera via another post and was wondering if it would be worth the money... MFH-F-100 Game Spy F100 MFH-GWC Game Watcher Film Camera Both have time and date stamps. I understand they are 35 mm instead of digital, but thats okay. What do y'all think about these?

wtnhunt Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Re: Moutrie Cameras?? Would not waste my time with film cams if I was you. Biggest downside to them is the film and processing. My first cam was a stealth 35 mm digital. Ran about 80 rolls of film through it in a couple years time. Start figuring and adding up, I could have bought areally nice digital with what I spent on film and processing alone. Another thing to remember on film cams is that you have to take the film in and wait. Digital is NOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Re: Moutrie Cameras?? I have a 35 MM and wish I had digital, get a digital if you can. Developing film is a pain and is so easy to download images from a digital on here to share your success with us! I would say stick with digital no matter how good the deal is!! Film bad, digital good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Re: Moutrie Cameras?? You would be amazed at how quickly one little raccoon can eat up an entire roll of film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt03 Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Re: Moutrie Cameras?? my first cam was film and I still use it and it is so frustrating at times compared to my digital. First off the roll of film is sometimes never completely used so your wasting money on that plus getting those pics of nothing developed burns you. I would not waste your time and money on these film cams. Very frustrating and $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are nothing more then a pain and costly IMHO. I had went that way "to save some $$$" and found that the digiyals are they way to save money.

bowhtr1 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Re: Moutrie Cameras?? Here are some good deals on the 35 mm. I use to have 4 of the 35 mm moultrie until I started making my own. They worked good for me but it is a pain to have to wait on the film to get developed. In the long run you will save money with the digital. But if you want to get your feet wet then this may be what you want. You will go digital sooner or later. check out this link and scroll down to the cameras on closeout. Several picture on my webshots page below are from my old moutrie cams. http://www.moultriefeeders.com/catalog.aspx?catid=ScratchDentCloseoutsRefurbishedUnits Good luck.

Ravin R10 man Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 dont waste your time with film go digital!! nut NOT the 2.1 mg I had 3 and they all went back...they ate 6 volt batteries in 3 days...

Guest Finn Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I agree with sticking with digital. If you can find a used Leaf River or a homebrew, that's what I'd try do. Moutrie seem to be hit or miss. One works fine, the next is junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 The new moultries out now are supposed to be better and are supposed to compete with homebrews, supposed to? Still I dont know. From what I have read, their new 5 mp camera is supposed to have a less than one second trigger. That unit is selling at cabelas for $150, would be interested in reading some reviews on the camera and see how it compares to homebrews side by side, because I cannot build the cams I am building for that.

Ravin R10 man Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 the gamespy 3.1(black finish), is on sale at bass pro for $89 with shipping. The only diff I can see from the GS 200, is the finish, and no temp readout..batt life... I will let you know asap, and see if it is as good as the 200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
