Yes | Price you paid?: $200.00 | Rating: 8    Pros: excellent quality pics, easy access, expander compatible Cons: a couple rolls of nothing, battery power gets worse with time very easy to use, excellent pics, but i have had a few rolls of nothing.(probably my fault.). Battery power lasts about 4-5 weeks. Although mine has barely been lasting one week the last couple rolls. Other than that is is a very good camera. I would recommend this camera.

Yes | Price you paid?: Not Indicated | Rating: 7    Pros: Most pictures are very clear and will pick up even squirrels Cons: On game trails it is a little slow to react. I had pictures of 1/2 of deer or the butt . Learned not to place to close to trail. The product is very good. I learned not to use bargain batteries. Use name brand alkaline. I learned to mount the camera to a sturdy object because the wind blowing a smaller tree will set it off. I set it up on a deer trail that came off of a hill. The deer were already past the lens by the time it went off. Allow some distance between the trail and the lens to allow the photo censor to read for the picture. Each roll that I develope is better than the last. Great investment to find out where and when the deer are using the area. I found that 75% of my deer photos were at night. Don't forget where you placed the camera or you will have some good pictures of yourself. lugnut Registered: July 2005 Location: Crestview Florida Posts: 535 Review Date: Mon July 18, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: Not Indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: great quality pictures, good range, excellent locking decvice, simple to use Cons: camo stands out a little but not bad I've owned mine for almost 2 years and if you can get by with out a digital model this is the one for you. I have never had a false trigger with mine although some times I do just get eyes but that's out at well over 35 ft. I have gotten pictures of people trying to steal it but none have gotten it yet. The battery on mine last for almost 4 months instead of the published 3. It's a solid camera and I would recommend it to anyone. Hideandwatch God grant me the serenity...

Yes | Price you paid?: Not Indicated | Rating: 8    Pros: easy pack in, great shots,good battery life,weather proof is great, easy to check battery life Cons: when checking how many exposed the light flashes so fast that you cant hardly count the flashes Seems to be a great game cam, really holds up to the weather outdoors (hot and cold). I have yet to set the date/time stamp, I have tried several times and the date and time is never stamped on the film when developed. The date and time is set and the little line above the date to the right is there. Am going to call Olympus on this. I havent had any problems (except for the date/timesetting) operational or otherwise since I have had this camera (second season). Purchased at Cabelas $199.00 I just purchased another D-200 from Non Typical, refurbished for $45.00. The date and time stamp work perfect on this cam and they included the Xpandr unit for free too. I had contacted them about the problem with the date/time stamp on the first cam and the warranty was up aand it turned out it was cheaper to just buy a refurbished unit. Both cams are still being used but the first still does not so the date/time stamp.
