While I was shopping for a wildlife camera, I read some reviews on the different cameras that I was considering. One reviewer was critical of the Primos Truth Cam 35 because it produced an audible click while taking still photographs, and also because of the flash. The reviewer's concerns seemed reasonable, as he was worried that the clicking and flashing of the camera would startle wildlife and scare them away from being within camera view.
I bought the Truth Cam 35 anyhow, because most of the reviews were positive, and because it was by far the less expensive of the other cameras under consideration, costing less than a hundred dollars. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
The camera has been actively placed in a number of environments and places throughout our land since early spring and, although we have seldom had more than two days in a row of dry weather this spring and summer, the camera has held up very well. As for the clicking and flashing of the camera, my experience has been that it gains the interest of the animal, but does not frighten them off. In fact, it encourages the animal to look into the lens of the camera.
If you should look through all of the photos and videos here, you will see that a black bear has attacked the camera a couple of times, gummed the lens up with his nose another, and even used it as a backscratcher even while it was taking video of the event. A moose also took a very close look at the camera. I did buy and do use an optional metal protective case for my camera, and it has held up well under adverse weather conditions and abuse by nosy wildlife.
If you are in the market for a wildlife camera such as this, or perhaps one of the more expensive models made by Primos, you can click on the Primos Truth Cam 35 image in the left margin of this page and it will open up, in a fresh browser tab, the page offering the Truth Cam 35 for sale at Amazon.com. It is far cheaper to buy one from Amazon.com than to buy it directly from Primos, the manufacturer of the camera. From there, you can navigate to any other wildlife cameras that you might want to consider.
