Thread: Moultrie Game Spy M-80 XD '2012 (sample photos/video)

I decided to start a new thread, hopefully we can get a few different camera models and post some photos/video of each to help new trail cam users choose the right camera for them.


Moultrie Game Spy M-80 XD mini (released in 2012)



Features:

• 5.0 megapixel infrared game camera
• Night range up to 60ft (roughly 18m)
• Three operational modes
• IR triggered gamer camera
• Hybrid time lapse plot camera
• Plot by day infrared by night
• New Fast Fire continuous shooting mode captures up to three photos per second
• Temperature, moon phase, time, date and camera ID
• Illumni-night sensor provides the brightest and clearest night-time infrared pictures
• New Motion Freeze technology reduces infrared nigh time blur
• 16:9 widescreen images and videos provide a wider field of view than standard game cameras
• Picture delay 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1-60 minutes
• Records video with sound
• Battery Life calculator
• SD memory card slot – up to 32GB (SD card required for operation, card not included)
• Operates on 4 or 8 AA batteries (not included; Duracell and Energizer recommended)
• Includes weather-resistant casing, mounting strap, USB cable and Plot Stalker software CD
• External power port for optional Moultrie Power Panel
• Updated Plot Stalker mode captures images at preset intervals Plus images triggered by game
• Takes up to 3,600 images in one day in Plot Stalker Time-Lapse Mode
• Long range view for maximum field coverage

My specifications:

• Had to have a decent flash (night photos)
• Small and compact
• Wont break the bank
• Video capability
• Take decent colour stills during the day (5MP +)
• Have a reasonable trigger time / recovery time / battery life
• Ability to take a SD card (so I can check photos in the field using my digital camera and clear if necessary)
• Weatherproof

Note: I ended up importing mine through a ebay/paypal, cost under $200 NZD landed. However, it did take a few weeks to arrive. If anyone wants the the sellers ebay name flick me a pm, otherwise Moultrie has a NZ site here (Redirect Moultrie to MoultrieNZ).
