Yes | Price you paid?: Not Indicated | Rating: 9    Pros: Easy set up, great day pics, battery life is very good. Cons: Shutter speed is short, and some moving pictures are blurred Battery life is Good, I get about 100-140 pictures a day, at the setting of 1 picture every min. of activation. I can go about a month, maybe a little less with one set of batteries. Temperature affects this and the temps have been in the upper 20's to 30's at night and up to 50 degrees during the day. Day pics are very good, and the night pictures with the infrared are average. I think the 60 ft. range is a little exagerated. You can't see the animals real good past about 35 ft. or so. The shutter speed is a little slow, so if the animal is moving fairly quickly, the animal is blurred, but you can still see if it's a buck or doe. Overall though, the pictures are good. I dont know if Cuddeback has changed anything with the activation, but I can only take one picture, every minute at best for each activation, not up to nine shots every activation like the description above says. I also have a Stealth cam 3.0 digital, and that takes up to 3 pictures every activation, and that is nice, but by far, the cuddeback is better than the StealthCam because of it's quick activation time. My Cuddeback's activation is about 1 second, where the Stealthcam can take up to 6 seconds before activation. I'm completely convinced the infrared does not spook the deer with this Cuddeback, unlike my Stealthcam with the flash, which I know does with the big smarter bucks. Go with infrared no matter what camera you buy. I've had over 350 pictures on my 512 mb card with the Cudde, and the card wasn't even half full, so get a big memory card if you plan on leaving the camera out for a while without changing the card and you have a lot of deer activity. The video mode is good, however you have to display the image in it's smallest setting to view it. By enlarging the image, it is very grainy, so I dont use this feature. The only improvements that can be made to this camera in my opinion, would be a faster shutter speed, and allowing up to 3 pictures per activation. When they accomplish that, I'll buy another one.
