I have 4 of the Trophy Cam E3 Essential trail cameras on our 90-acre property. Two of these cameras are over 8-years old and still going strong. I just bought 2 more. My experience is that they are very easy to program, the picture quality is good both day and night and lithium batteries will last up-to 1 year. I haven't found a comparable good value in any other non-cellular trail camera.

Our back woods are alive here in the Pacific N.W. and this camera hasn't missed a shot. Very easy to set up. Still haven't played with all the settings, but the photos are good quality. Agree with using the lithium batteries, especially in the cold weather.

I purchased one 2-3 years ago and have been very pleased with it so far. I'd say the best I've owned. Recently purchased 2 more.

I purchased the Bushnell E3 product because I have Bushnell trail cams still operating after 10 years in the field under very challenging conditions. I have photos in temperatures as low as -40F (very surprised camera and batteries kept working). The range of operation from summer through winter has been impressive using Energizer lithium batteries. Within my Bushnell collection I own two Bushnell E2 trail cams that have performed flawlessly. Great picture and video quality. The similarity between the E2 and E3 is difficult to tell the difference. The overall Bushnell quality combined with the great E3 sale price is hard to beat.

Trophy Cam E3 is an Older model but the only one I look for, I have tried 3 other manufacturers and didn't like any of them, these are reliable, and the easy to program and large screen I can read. I sure hope these will be available for a long time to come.

One of the best selling points for me in the Trophy Cam is the ability to set the camera for activate during day and or night time hours. This is a great feature for collecting predator activity during i.e. night time hours eliminating excessive photos not needed during the day time. I am surprised that not more emphasis is on this feature in their adverting.

This camera is highly waterproof. After my husband accidentally directed the snow blower towards it, it ended up packed with snow. After I cleaned it off and dried it out, it worked great and has been working great for over a year.

These are my 7th & 8th Trophy Cams Essentials. Some of my originals are out 365 days a year. Two are factory refurbished and they work great. I've stuck with them because they give me no grief, the stills and video's are excellent. They just keep working and don't seem to quit. For the price, you can't beat the quality. They're all you could ask for, why buy anything else?

I have been using bushnell cams for over 10 years and the trophy series is the best and these are no exception the lower the megapixels the better the pics will be, I have a core low glow with 24 megs and the pic Quality is not as good and at $90 you better grab several up. Some people say they are difficult to use but I find them the easiest to use, if your having trouble find someone that uses them and have them show you how and you will see just how easy they are, I can set one up in less than 60 seconds and have it up and running.

This camera has given good service for many years. Pictures are good and the batteries last well. This camera is hard to beat at the price.

The Trophy Cam E3 is probably the best trail cam I have ever used. Fantastic picture quality and fast trigger speeds. I have 4 of them, now 6. Not sure where these last bunch of E3's came from as it was my understanding this model was no longer available. Ordered directly from Bushnell. What a great product!

I haven't put this one out in the field yet but I have 2 that I have had for years that work good. They are out year round I would like to get a little better battery life but better then some other brands I have used.

Looks very good. Instructions complicated, unable to understand how to set it up. Will keep trying. Maybe my grandchildren will understand how to set up.

Academic research
By Nicole C.
We are using them for a academic research project. So far we have not had any issues with them.
Keep a watchful eye on your favorite outdoor spot around the clock with the new Bushnell Trophy Cam Essential HD. Adjustable settings allow you capture one to three images per trigger or anywhere from five to 60 seconds of video at a time. Adjust the trigger interval anywhere from one second to 60 minutes to capture that perfect shot. The 16MP resolution and automatic day/night sensor ensure crisp, vivid images every time. No camera is more efficient, either. The Trophy Cam Essential HD lasts up to 12 months on one set of batteries. If you want to see what's out there, all you have to do is set one up.
0.3-second trigger speed
True one-year battery life for all season scouting
16MP high-quality full color resolution
PIR sensor is motion activated out to 100 ft.
Data Stamp
Every image is automatically stamped with day/date, temp and moon phase at time of capture.
HD Video
All Trophy Cams are capable of capturing 720p HD video - with sound - for a brilliant connection to the game you hunt.
Field Scan 2X
Time-lapse technology automatically snaps images at preset intervals of one minute to one hour, within the hours of your choice. Now with two available time slots so you can monitor dusk and dawn movement. Because it's not triggered by game, it provides the widest viewing area possible. But unlike all other time-lapse cameras, its simultaneous live trigger will still capture images of anything that walks by.
Hyper PIR
Motion sensor reaches out to 60 feet or beyond and offers dramatically expanded coverage area over leading competitors.
Hyper Night Vision
A quantum leap in distance and brightness, this new system ensures that sharpest after-dark imagery.
