It might look like the same old reliable StealthCam, but it’s grown up a bit.

The new StealthCam i550 digital game camera now boasts a 5.0 megapixel resolution, so you get more detailed pictures.  When viewing the pictures on a PC, the bigger resolution allows you to enlarge the pictures, without losing the details you need to see.  Perfect for counting points on that big buck’s rack.

The flash now reaches out to up to 50 feet.  This is excellent for seeing the deer that may be following the one that triggered the sensor. 

You still have the same time and date stamping on your images.  But you now get the moon phase and temperature stamping on the images as well.  This holds true for the AVI videos as well.

The extended coverage area makes this game camera worth the money.

The video recording is only available during the daytime, due to the need for a flash at night.  This camera is very programmable, allowing you to delay between 1 and 59 minutes in between pictures.  The burst mode setting allows you to take from 1 to 9 images when activated.

Make sure you have extra SD memory cards, so you can swap them out and review the pictures on your PC at your leisure.  And consider the long life 12V lead acid battery pack as a worthwhile addition.

If you have any pics that you have taken with you i550, we would love to see them.  Please post a comment.
