Overview

The latest Bushnell Core S-4K wildlife trail camera offers 4K video resolution at 20fps, interpolated 30MP still images and improved SD card storage size. 

However; we are seeing more and more wildlife cameras on the market saying 4K on the information but offering low frame rates which make this mode borderline unusable. The Core S-4K is offering 4K, but at 20fps. Below 25fps and videos tend to look jumpy. This is right on that borderline. The next model up - the - offers 4K video at 30fps.

It is however capable of higher frame rates in the default 1080p HD mode. 

The Core S-4K does have some other good specs however; trigger speeds are amongst the fastest in both video and photo modes, and battery life is very good too. 

Finally, Bushnell have added the ability to use SD card sizes above 32GB - so now you can use up to a 512GB SD card in a Bushnell wildlife camera for the first time.

The Camo finish on the Bushnell Core cameras is some of the most realistic we’ve ever seen.

It is straight-forward to use and the menu will be familiar to Bushnell users, with no major departures or changes in the settings.

It’s powered by a 9V system from 6x AA batteries, less than normal in a Bushnell, but battery efficiency is a big improvement over the Aggressor models. This still means night time videos are limited to 15 seconds per clip with LED Control set to ‘High’. Turning this setting to ‘Low’ or ‘Medium’ means you can get 60 second clips at night.
