One thing that seems to stand out about this trail camera is the high quality of the pictures it takes.  Every person who reports in on the game camera ratings of photo and video quality is very impressed with them.  Another big plus is the ease in setting this camera up.  Very easy is a term best used to describe it.  Battery life is good.  This is not a small item.  If battery life is poor not only do you have to buy more batteries but you also have to make more trips to your area to change them.  More trips equals more smell and more chances to spook game.  If the batteries hold up you also don’t have to  worry about missing any shots of your intended target.  Battery life is a bigger part of a deer cameras value than most people realize.

There are a few negatives as always.  The number one complaint people have with the Moultrie’s is their customer service.  Apparently it’s terrible.  That is unfortunate because if your contacting them it’s probably because you have a problem with your camera.  Thankfully most of the time there are no problems.   It would be nice if the customer support was better when you do need them.  In the event of problem, like if the deer camera doesn’t work, you might be better just dealing with whoever you bought it from.

So just to recap- quality unit overall, excellent pictures and videos, very good battery life, easy set up, and good night time pictures.  The trigger time could be a little better but I always tell people to aim the camera up or down a trail or at a food plot, orchard or feeder.  Most trail cameras do a poor job of capturing pictures of animals walking down a trail when they are directly across from it.  And their customer support could use some improvement.  One of the best and most reliable places to buy this or any other trail camera seems to be Amazon.

Game camera ratings on this unit- very good.

i bought 4 brand new mfh-dgs-d50 cameras, and not one of them work. i have old moultries and wildview cameras that have been in service for years and still work some of the time, but are basically unreliable. how can anybody say this is a good camera? i can see one not working, but 4. i must be getting the rejects that people sent back. very frustating, if the cameras were half as good as their feeders, i’d be happy.

I recently bought 2 I65 cameras to replace two failed Moultrie cameras (right when the warranty ended) I bought the cameras because they were advertised(and still are) to utilize 16GB cards. They quit at 2.82GB. After sending them back and forth for repair (they kept sending them back broken) I was sent a bribe not to send them back. You guessed it 2 – 16GB cards that of which the camera can only use 2.82GB. They want their very short warranty to run out so they can tell you they can’t be repaired as they are obsolete. Moultrie cameras are JUNK. Buy them if you like to have cameras that spend most of their first year in the repair shop and then to the trash can after the warranty runs out in 1 year.
