I think it'd be great if Tactacam uses a 12MP CMOS; there are very very few CMOS in trail cams over 5MP and most of them exist in the dual lens / 4K regular cam market - IE DS4K, the Bushnell Core DS, etc. I think it's more likely that it is a 5-6MP CMOS at most. You can usually interpolate up to between 4-5X the native CMOS. Eventually you run out of dots/pixels to guess on.First cell cam is going to have lots of issues. That price point seems great for the consumer ,but also seems like they are using the cheapest parts available. Seems to good to be true . The fact that it states 24 mp is concerning. It most likely has a 12mp CMOS sensor and relies on interpolation. It is a marketing tactic usual employed by cheaper manufacturers. Once Trailcampro.com gets a hold of it we will know how it really performs .
This also presents challenges for the sent images being full size as noted by the team member - the file size would be so massive that at 200, 500, or 1,000 images comparatively, the amount of data consumption would seem unrealistic for the plan price point. A buy-up option might solve that, but still, even at that point, it's a multiple jump in data consumption. I couldn't see how a standard transmitted image could be sent regularly at full file size for the cost basis. I am hoping so...because that will sell like crazy.
Looking at some of the pics...they tend to hint at 640x480, which is pretty typical transmission size for entry level cell cams. I'm hoping we get confirmation I don't have it right!!!!
