But when you actually see the image it just looked like a picture taken with a 10-year old cellphone.įor our test, we took a super long tape measure and measured how far it was from edge to edge. We saw some great cameras, that are in every way excellent, and even the Megapixels listed on the box seem perfect. So don’t base your decision on the number of Megapixels that are listed on the box because it most likely is a lie anyway. The way they do it is by taking a sensor with maybe 8 or 16 MP and stretching it out to 32 MP or whatever number they want to put on the packaging.

To break down the rest of the trail cams, we’ve created several categories! Let’s get into it. In the end, though, we found that it’s just kind of a “you get what you pay for” type of situation.
