Yes | Price you paid?: $399.00 | Rating: 9    Pros: great range, good quality pics, great battery life, awsome security features Cons: picture delay is in 1min intervals-- I perfer 15-30 sec intervals Keep in mind that I have not had this camera that long but it seems like a winner. The cool thing about this one is that nontypical is going to release a light that adapts to the camera so you can get night videos. coming sometime this year. The method of mounting on this model is real similar to the 35mm film cameras they make and it's the quickest, easiest, and most secure that I have seen yet. Software interface takes a little getting used to but gives control over all (and I mean all) aspects of this camera. To sum it all up--WORTH THE MONEY lukestar Registered: October 2005 Posts: 2 Review Date: Sun October 30, 2005 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: $319.00 | Rating: 9    Pros: Quick trigger speed Cons: not able to view in field Great pictures, quick trigger speed. No problems with this camera as of yet. Bond Registered: March 2004 Location: South Central Wisconsin Posts: 316 Review Date: Thu December 15, 2005 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: Not Indicated | Rating: 5    Pros: Speed. Pic quality sometimes Cons: Pic quality sometimes, setup doesn't make sense, no LCD This cam is very quick. Most of the pictures are pretty good. Close up pics get washed out by the flash. Nightime pics are better than daytime pics. Daytime pictures look weird. Setup is very confusing. This is the first electronic device that I ever had to read the whole manual of. I understand it but I don't understand why they made it this way??? Attaching it to the tree is rather cumbersome. Another feature that doesn't make sense to me. You have to take off the cover to tighten a wingnut and then there is another screw to tighten the cover on the cam. No LCD??? what's the point of having a digital cam then? The camera doesn't come with a USB cable, memory card, or memory card reader, so you have to buy some additional product. You can't use the cam right out of the box. I had to buy a memory card and a card reader. That was an extra $75. Without an LCD screen, you'd think that they would at least make it easy to take the memory card in and out because that's what you're going to have to do to put it in a viewing device. But it's not easy. You need pencil-sized fingers to press the release button and a tweezers to pull the memory card out. To sum it up, good speed, OK picture quality and terrible user friendliness.
