Anybody have 2012 bushnell HD Black

Are you having good night pictures? What are you using for your settings?
Just bought one yesterday, so far not impressed with night pictures. But, this was just a test of me walking by it.

I got one about a month ago but set it on video. Most vids are at night and are pretty good if the subject is within 20'. I haven't tried pics yet but I did set it on the lowest sensitivity which is what my other trophy cam is set on which supposedly the way to go.

I dont have the 2012 model. I got 2010 & 2011 i think. None have ever taken great nightime photos. Pics arent very sharp. I have tried all settings and nothing helps. I just think this is the best these cams are capable of.

I'm having terrible luck, I posted this here a while back, still haven't figured it out. I really like the 2010 8GB models:

Has anyone used the newer 2012 model with the Black LED's?

I had one out for a month and am disgusted with the performance. I've had mutiple Bushnell's over the past few years and this, the highest priced one, is the worst performer by a mile. I've had great luck with the older ones, but I can't even begin to explain how cruddy the night time pictures are on the newer one. They only deer that were captured had to be perfectly still and only 5-7 yards away. Every other deer was a streaky blur or I only saw eyes 20 yards away. If any of you have one and have had success, please offer up suggestions on settings...

Unfortunately I deleted every picture I had out of disgust or I'd show you.

My advice - STAY AWAY!

I have the Bushnell BF model 119466 (actually 7 of them) and run them all on videos. I have run them on pic mode and am not overly impressed with the night pics. However, I run all mine on videos and they work great. Make sure you use 1.5V ultimate lithium batteries.

What are your setting?

What are your setting?

I run them on "normal" sensor and video length of 20 seconds or so with 25 second delay between videos. Over minerals or feed in the summer I will set delay for 1 or 2 minutes. It is also very important on how these cameras are angled. I usually put mine up about shoulder height with a slight angle down. Correct angle is very important.
