Here is my two cents worth: I have/had Moultries. One that is about 6 years old and 2 that were bought 2 years ago. The 6 year old cam has always worked great and does today. The 2 newer ones failed within the first year. (Both had "card reader problems". I took them to Cabelas and they were great about giving my money back. I went back to the display area to pick out 2 new ones. While looking at the Moultrie selection, a young man from that department asked if he could help. I asked his recommendation on what I should choose as my 2 Moultries had failed. He said "he hears that a lot". He than asked what me price range was. He took me around the other side of the display and showed me the Cuddyback display and made his recommendation. I bought 2 and love them. Very user friendly, unbelievable battery life, great day and night pictures. They have hung on trees year round for 14 months now and not one problem. My old Moultrie is still working great, but I still like the Cuddy's better. Hope this helps. Might want to ask your local salesperson if they hear of any problems with the newer Moultrie products.
