Bushnell's Trophy Cam 3/5 MegaPixel Trail Camera

Record 3- or 5-megapixel images at up to three rapid-fire images per trigger, or opt for a 0-60 second photo interval. Trigger speed is less than a second. The camera can be programmed to record from 1-60 seconds of video action, too. Time lapse mode and a built-in color image viewer. Available from Bass Pro Shops (www.basspro.com; 800-227-7776).
