Well, I did get some clips and still photos off the new G500 camera today, as well as off the old G100 camera.
It seems the video with the G500 has a delay in starting also, but since I am not a trail camera expert I did a search online and found this: "Trigger-time is likely to be slower when recording video as it takes longer for the camera to ‘wake up’ video recording systems than those used for still images." (end quote) so even with a fast trigger speed it still takes time to "wake up" the video recording system.
I really can't complain though, Wosports sent the G500 to me for free (right now the G500 is listed for $39.99 on Amazon, the G100 is listed for $35.99) so they are not very expensive as far as trail cameras go. (the G500 does have a higher resolution available though)
Maybe the real expensive trail cameras might do better, but when you are a casual user simply catching images on your own property you can be okay with the more economical models
(though it would be nice to have the video recording start sooner)
The G500 does have 3 recording options: video only, still photos only, or one still photo followed by a video clip.
Anyhow, first the still photos and clips from the G500
(looks like I need to correct the time stamp time when I get a chance)
(with the exception of two clips further below, I was limiting these to coyotes)
This next one was from the old G100 camera, pointed to a different area.
Had to include this neat rabbit / deer clip, wish the clip recorded a little longer as it would have been interesting to see if the rabbit reacted to the deer approaching
(I again moved the old G100 camera to face a different area, I likely will keep moving the G100 to a new spot every so many days to see what areas might have more activity)
EDIT TO ADD: one more unusual clip (from the G500 camera)
Not sure if these are strays or if the dog's owners allow them to roam
(it has been quite a while since I saw an unknown dog come thru our yard)
