I think you need to refine your options. Perhaps you need to state some requirements as these cameras are worlds apart in thier capabilities and applications.

Didnt want to really put any requirements on the cameras, just was looking to see what everyone would buy if they saw these 3 in the store.

however, if I had to put some requirements on them:

good trigger time < 2sec
good crisp pictures that could be zoomed on
good quality video night/day
sound recording a plus
at least 2 weeks battery life < 1000 pictures for 2 week period
company that supports the product in case of failure (easy return)

Thanks,
Monsterbuk

Yup, tho I do not know anything about the spypoint.

Better reliability and battery life on the Ltl Acorn, but videos are not that great.
NT50B is black flash and has sound, but blurrier vids due to black flash.

May as well get the spypoint I guess, test it and then we will be better educated when this comes up again.....LOL :P

From everything I've seen on here, the Acorn outperforms the NT50B in most areas. I don't really know alot about the Spypoint. But, based on blackflash alone I voted for the 50B. While I'm not completely satisfied with the final product, I am competely sold on the superiority of the technology of blackflash in general. I say that because there is not a single standard IR camera that I would take over my whiteflash homebrews, but blackflash is whole nuther animal to me. :mrgreen:

OK, I chose the Acorn cause it has it all. I dont know about the customer service end, but it has a 2 year warranty.
