I've been on his website a couple of times to check out his cameras. I went to order a couple and the link to order has been removed. Is their any other way to contact?
 
I cannot speak for Jim, but I just clicked on his website and looked at a few of his cams and I saw $245, $265 and $395. I'd venture to say most of his units (still camera and video) will run $225-$425 plus shipping depending on options and capability.

...only mine are s600's or s40's which are a better cam.

Define better. Better flash, trigger speed, quality picture, easier to hack, easier to build or what? Reason I ask is I have four P41 homebrews (5 years old) that rock as far as a true trail camera goes, and was wondering exactly which feature your cam excels in where some of the others do not. Or is it just a personal preference?

Just got off the phone with this guy (he is in Edmonton Canada) and he said $490 for a new P41 camera build and I about spit my drink all over my computer monitor. He was explaining to me all the "amenities" that come with it (2 lithium batteries, python cable lock, 1GB card, etc) and I just cut him off and said thank you sir. He was a very nice plain spoken guy but $490 + S/H for a P41 is THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST PRICE I have ever heard of for a P41 build, period. To make sure I was not hearing things, I called him back to verify his price. He confirmed $490 but told me it was typically $565. To put it nicely, I was simply amazed. :crazy:

I think when comparing the cameras, many builders like the S600 best, but I think the P41 is just as good of a camera as the S600, and to me the P41 is SO much easier to hack. No comparing the S40 to either the P41 or S600, there is no comparison. Either p41 or s600 will blow the s40 away.

Just my 2 cents!


AS FOR FIREMANJIM and his work.... Honestly I do not hink you guys can beat him. I know you will not beat his warranty!!!!!

Check him out, give him a call, if he doesnt have something you want, he can custom build to suit your needs.
