Thanks David,Dave and jjj.
Yes,Dave the U.S calls 720p HD,but Australian film standards are higher than U.S,so my son tells me,who is doing a film and television course.As you say-its a bit of 'wessel marketing'.But this Bushnell unit does give a fairly good standard result-that dingo is 40-50ft away from camera.This camera has given no false starts.The 'Scotch Guard' model I have gave a few,but it was very windy on that day=grass blowing.
However,I am finding the Scotch Guard camera (see link

More to my liking-it has black flash=no light at all at night,I can review images on back of screen-great for helping aim the camera etc,The bushnell I have to take the SD card out and put in PS and review-a real pain in the
when in the field.This model would suit your parents farm for chook coup watching and theives.

Its good,for basic trail watching or on a carcass,I might ended up selling this one,as happy with the Scotch guard model.
Yes, jjj a bit of a wildlife video would be a good idea-my son's skills could be put to good use,But I think it would take years of work in the field to get enough footage to make it worth while.
