Stealthcam Rogue, I have a chance to get one of these at a really good price. However, I had a Stealthcam "Unit" which was a great camera, took great pictures, however, it ate batteries like no tomorrow. I tried Lithium, Alkaline, Rechargables and they only lasted 2-3 days at the most. So I had to return it to Cabelas.

That's why I'm worried about this one. I can't return it if I buy it. Does anyone have any reviews on this camera or experience with it? Is it worth buying?



I checked on the camera reviews here and didn't see this camera.

I have 3 of them.I have not had any problems with mine except they like batteries.I have had lots of the Stealth I590's so I knew they liked batteries.I run mine on 12 volt SLA batteries.I get 3 to 4 months before having to recharge batteries.They take great pics too.

So how long will they run on regular Alkalines?

First I just looked at the pic you put on and it is the IR model.The Stealth Rouge's I have are the White Flash models.White Flash is harder on batteries.
The pic you have looks like the I540 which was 5 MP and this may be the same camera except it is 8MP.
It would depend on the pics it took but you should get around 1000 pics to a set of batteries.
Personally unless it was dirt cheap i would consider another camera.Lots of cameras out there to choose from.

Stealth probably has the worst customer service of all trail camera manufacturers.
