Battery Life: Unknown at this time. Please email us if you know. Low Battery Indicator: Unknown at this time. Please email us if you know. Detection Method: Passive infrared motion detector. Three sensitivity settings which allow detection out to 60 feet. The most sensitive setting allows a detection distance out to 60 feet (at 75 degrees F), the second setting allows a detection distance out to 40 feet, and the least sensitive allows a detection distance out to 25 feet (temperature dependent). Sure Shot Mode is an option designed to estimate the speed of the animal in front of the motion sensor and determine if will be in the photograph. For instance, if it is moving too quickly to be in the photo (such as a running deer, squirrel, bird, etc.) it will not trigger the camera. Only a stationary animal or an animal moving very slowly will trigger the camera. This optional mode works great over a feeder and eliminates many undesirable photos saving film and development costs. It is not recommended for most trail situations unless your monitoring scrapes. For Trails, standard mode is just a flip of a switch. Camera Delay Options: 8 delays of 30 seconds to 2 hours. Operation Modes: Operates 24 hours a day or daytime only.

Yes | Price you paid?: $634.00 | Rating: 10    Pros: Clear pictures and less expensive to operate than 35 mm. Cons: None. I loved their 35mm and this camera set up is even better. I no longer have to print out shots to see what I have. Now only the big bucks get printed and I can simply drop in chip and its ready to go again. This designer is way ahead of the competition on almost all attributes of this camera. Camo color is great, disappears on the tree, also has great locking system, to help prevent theft. I use it and I recommend it to my clients. jsam Registered: June 2004 Posts: 2 Review Date: Wed June 30, 2004 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: Not Indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: very reliable, great pictures Cons: none I just got a TrailMAC digital this year after using their 35 mm cameras for about two years. I love it! Digital is the way to go, you see your pictures instantly, no more waiting at the 1 hour film counter. This camera is easy to use and takes great pictures (very good flash distance). I hope to buy another one before hunting season.
