Reconyx RM 45 vs Reconyx HC500
The new Reconyx HC 500 and the older RM45 are very similar in that they both take very crisp pictures and they have a lot of the same features. The one thing that sets them apart though is the new feature on the HC500 which allows you to choose the type of battery you will be using, Lithium and alkaline. I have not used the HC500 with Lithium batteries yet but so far am very impressed with the life of alkaline batteries during the cold WI temperatures. Using the RM45 means lithium batteries or you are going to be changing batteries every few days in the cold months. Using the camera at night you will also notice a difference in the flash distance. It seems the HC500 reaches about twice the distance as the RM45 and the flash also does not seem to be absorbed by the objects closest to the camera so the objects in the background are easily seen. Another great addition to the HC500 is the screen which is across the IR low glow flash lights. The flash is so fast if you blink while walking infront of the camera you will miss the lights. On most IR cameras animals will still notice the lights something I have not observed with the HC500. Maybe that is why Reconyx calls the HC500 semi-covert?
Over all the HC500 is an improvement over the RM 45 for that matter. I will attempt to download some pictures at a later date so you can see for yourself the difference of the two cameras. But until then remember you get what you pay for in most cases. I have owned a lot of different manufactured cameras and spending a few extra dollars on one camera always has been a great trade off to buying more cameras.
