If the popularity of the ScoutGuard SG 550 says anything about its performance, then this might just be the next best digital game camera on the market.

This trail camera features a compact size, measuring 5.5" x 3.25" x 2". This game cam won't stand out in the woods, and make it a target for would-be thieves. To cover the highpoints, the 5 megapixel camera provides excellent quality pictures at a resolution of 2560 x 1920. Its infared flash reaches all the way out to 40 feet for sharp night time photos. It shoots two different resolutions of video as well. The ScoutGuard SG550 is loaded with features, and includes a 1.7" LCD. With a better life of around 5000 pics and a fast trigger of around 1 second, what's not to like?

So what are the SG550 owners saying?

I have had one out is about 3 months and still had power to spare

From what I can tell this SG 550 is the best cam for the price.

I've had my first camera out since mid june and have around 3000 pics and 1 hour of video and yesterday it still showed 2/3 battery life. At this rate I should get 5000 pics!

The more I use mine, the more I like it. I pulled it today after 5 days in the heavy rain. It had 833 great pics on it. This is a great camera for a great price.

That probably says enough. The ScoutGuard SG550 gets a thumbs-up.
