I have owned this camera since 2008. It has been back to HCO 5 times. Only once was repaired under warranty. Each time it cost me $30 plus shipping (both ways). Either the camera quits working or the remote quits. When it works, it does take good pictures.
Would recommend: No

The factory needs to check this item better BEFORE it leaves the factory. I had to send mine back. Factory was almost complacent. I sent it back through OpticsPlanet. They are the best.
Pros: small, light, IR, extended field of capture
Cons: Have to turn it off to remove card, only takes 2gb card
Would recommend: Yes

This camera is very small makes it excellent to conceal. Huge range of settings with the viewer. This is my first trail camera since my old 35mm trail camera. Technology has gotten alot better since then. Battery life seems to be very good. Used camera in temperatures below 32 deg. and performed very well. Use the HCO security box with camera and would recommend it because the camo of box blends very well with trees. This camera might deserve a better rating than I gave it but it is just my second camera. So far I would purchase this one again. I am very pleased with it.
Pros: Easy to set up and use. Very small size.
Cons: None.
Would recommend: Yes

Hey guys I've had this camera since 2008 (3 deer season's). Battery life around 5000 pics 3-6 months. Best camera I've ever owned. I've owned 3 other brands of camera's. They cant compare to this camera. If you want a camera that just sits on the tree no problems and takes picture after picture year after year and batteries last forever look no further.
Pros: Battery Life
Cons: None
Would recommend: Yes

Has good trigger time, and quality photos..light and easy to set up. Thought about a sealed model like the Trophy, but I will see how this one holds up...after four weeks, it is still doing fine.
Pros: light, easily locked with python cablelock
Cons: not sealed
Would recommend: Yes

What's not to like! Value, battery life, size, ease of use, quick response time, quality pictures, the SG550 has it all. This is my 6th trail camera, counting an old film model. The SG550 is by far the best I have used or seen used by some of my hunting buddies. I plan to sell my other digital game cams and replace them with SG550's. In my opinion, save the $10.00 additional cost for the camo, and get the green or black model and camo it yourself.
Pros: Ease of use and value
Cons: Stem camo stands out, too much whites
Would recommend: Yes

The IR night pictures are way to dark. I own 3 different brands of cameras and this one takes the worst night pictures.
moultrie ir does a better job.
Pros: size
Cons: night pictures
Would recommend: No
