This the LTL Acorn 5120, cost £130, its OK but is only 5MP not the 12MP it quotes.

Seems OK some nice features and some I don't like. The photos are not as good as good as the Bushnell Trophy.


They also do a 6210 model which is supposed to be better

Indeed! A couple signs that cats are not the birds' friends... Really a wonderful collection. So interesting to see that tiger eating in the water! Don't usually think of them as wanting to get that wet, but I guess anything for a meal....

Tigers are well known as being not only unbothered by water but actively seeking it out as a hunting habitat and for leisure.

ha. I'm not a big one for anthromorphism but he's got a face on like he knows he just caught with a hand in the cookie jar.

Frankly I think some of the anti-anthropomorphism movement is over the top. I had no difficulty interpreting many of my dog's expressions (including being found out!) and I am increasingly of the opinion that some mammalian facial expressions are universal. Except for botoxed women of course.

I do agree with some of what you say. However, in my experience people really are very apt to ascribe complex thought processes and emotions to their pets where there are perfectly good, less complicated, alternative explanations, and no evidence to support the anthropomorphism.

The `guilty dog knowing he will be found out' is, in my opinion, much more convincingly explained by the dog connecting events (being punished for there being a mess on the floor) than by the dog `knowing he did wrong', that is, knowing he *caused* the problem, and knowing this was wrong while doing it.

The problem with these overly anthropomorphic interpretations is that the people who succumb to them use completely inadequate methods to try to teach the dog to do better. This ultimately causes a lot of harm, like the dog that has become impossible to live with.

I think it is to counter this mindset that the `anti-anthropomorphism' has become maybe over-emphasized.

I'd have more to say here but I'm conscious of the fact that this doesn't really belong in the camera-trap thread.
