Regular Leaf River Test

[Shovelbuck]

I started messing around with the regular Leaf River camera back in August. Battery life is good, trigger speed is manageable.
The thing I don't care for about it is photo quality.

The photos all seem to be somewhat washed out and have a bluish shade to them. As a scouting cam it's a good tool. If you want quality photos without doing a lot of work to them in a photo program, the camera probably isn't what you need.
Just my opinion though.

Looks like the flash is getting back or leaking light back in ????

Your Leaf River test appears to be accurate from my experience with them. I have one DC-2 and I sold a DC-2 to a buddy.

Sun and clouds will set it off if it is at just the right spot

Good thing its a digitial.

The pictures you have posted looks pretty good. Trigger speed is a huge deal with mine. I have learned to face it down or up a trail not perpendicular. The trigger speed just isnt quick enough. I have had good luck with fence crossing and where a deer has to go over a few logs. That pause that the deer takes is often just enough to get a good picture.

My problems: I cant get quik shot to work and cant make mine take video? I bought mine used and didnt get a set of instructions.

my brother in law had one of those leaf rivers also and all his pics seemed to be washed out too. my 1.3 moultrie had better quality than his 3.o leaf river. he returned it. the night shots were terrible.

I had a LR with the LCD screen first but it would not keep time. Sent it in to LR and it still wouldnt keep time so I sent it back to Cabelas. Ordered a standard one, DC1 I think, that has been fine. The first camera had the same problem yours does in alot of the pics with the bluish or purplish tint and grainy. The 2nd camera seems to do much better, although the trigger speed is still way too slow. I usually just put it on a mineral lick, a scrape, creek crossing, etc. Like you said battery life is fantasic, I get 1000-1500 pics on a set of batteries with no problems.

Here is a sample pic from mine.

Nice quality photo. I tried two different units and both had the bluish look to them. After 2 months I gave up on them.
I put out a different "Cheap" brand yesterday. We'll see how it goes and I'll make another post about it when I can.
