If I understand it correctly, the USB patch provides power to the game camera, and uplinking doesn't draw from the batteries.

Cool I wasn't sure about your model!

Though, considerably more expensive, I have to wonder if a viewer would be a better option, for me... I could plug it into the camera without moving it, and see what's on it.

You might be money ahead to just buy the 1 gig sd for 12 bucks and walk out there and view them on your digital camera then! Then if there was really something worth keeping or seeing you could go plop it in the reader at Fred Meyer and make an 8x10 for a couple of bucks!  :)

Houndhunter,

Nope, I have no cause to travel that far.

I'd bet 90% of my jobs now, are within ten miles of home (here in West Seattle).

M_ray,

Dude... if I had a digital camera with a view screen I would have solved my own problem a long time ago. :chuckle:
I could've just USB linked it to my Wildview...

That's also part of why I chose one with a USB port. ;)

Right now I have a cheap and cheesy digital camera with a ten shot (read only) memory, and no screen.

A viewer, would allow me to see what's on my camera, and my trail cam. :)
It's a pain to take photos, and have to go all the way home, just to see if they turned out.

Hmmm... I might be able to get into a card ready, LCD screened, digital camera, for around the same price as a viewer?

But I didn't want to have to spend any more than I already did... I wanted to buy something that would work on my computer, like it said it does on the box.  :dunno:

If I add a card, even without a reader, I could take it to have prints made (which I highly doubt I'd ever do).
Having a way to instantly show photos to a customer would be more likely to be how I'd use it.
So, the idea of a viewer/digi-cam sounds better to me, all the time.

*The mailman just came and went... no drivers yet. :bash:

M-ray,

Whatever! :P

Still, no drivers...

Krusty

P.S. I just got off the phone with customer service, at least this rep sounded coherent.

He informed me my CD with the drivers hasn't showed up yet, because "there aren't any"... and he didn't know when there would be any.
Supposedly I'll get a call back, tomorrow. But I ain't holdin' my breath.
