Pros:	Good luck so far
Cons:	sensor to strong for cold weather

In the spring I had a lot of pictures with no animals and after turning the sensor down it's been pretty good. THe battery life has been excellent. the photos up close are pretty good but with a bright background it seems fuzzy, night photos need to be real close, most of my night pics I clean up with a photo program. I would recommend this to someone who wanted to install a large media card and not go back to the camera for a few weeks

Pros:	Security system seems well thought out.
Cons:	Never got a picture of any animals.

I got pictures of lots of trees and bushes. Called Nontypical several times for clues, finally sent the camera back. The second time it took a picture every 21 minutes. Sent it back again. They promised it would work but it didn't. Put it on a dozen different trails over 9 months, it took over 600 pictures, not a single animal. Keypad went out this morning, am sending it back to Cablea's for a refund.

Pros:	Good clear pictures day or night!!!
Cons:	See reveiw

I have the 05 Cuddeback 3.0 and it has worked flawless!!! I purchased a 06 Expert and It hasn't worked since new!!! I have sent it in twice at a shipping cost to me of $40.00!!! They said I needed a new board the first time? I got it back and it was the same as when I sent it in? Blurred moving imagages and slow trigger speed? I sent it in again and got it back and the same thing? I called customer service AGAIN!!! They told me to set the displays outside instead of inside so the camera could get use to the outdoor light? I did and it seemed to work? I set it out last weekend so we will see? Good Luck
