Does any one use the Moultrie Game Spy M-100? It seems to have decent reviews. I just ordered one of them and one of the X6C's.

How is the one at Amazon for battery life (internal)?  I have a spot on my driveway that I would like to put it to monitor rigs coming and going so it would only take about 10 pics per day.

I think most any that take AA batteries will work OK and last long if you use lithiums. Just not sure about trigger speed on a moving vehicle as well as head or tail lights washing out night pics. Too bad there isn't an extension cord adapter for trail cams.

Actually, I have a DC inverter that I could rig up to work if I set it up in the side of my pump house.  Gonna order one and give it a try.

I recieved these cams last night...I set them up and tested them outside...highly impressed with the clarity and the sensitivity of the sensor...very easy to set up.my guess is they will last quite sometime on the 8 double A batterys they require to operate on.

I ordered 2 this morning.  I am anxious to see how well they work as security cameras and replace my back fenceline critter cam.  My old Moultrie still works fine but will let the kidsu have it to play with.

I am really tempted at that price. I'm having a hard time holding back. I've just got to come up with a reason in my head why I can't live without it. One thing is I know there are going to be some more great deals to be had, with new models coming out soon and the stores trying to get rid of old inventory. There are some other tempting deals right now too. I've seen the Wildview 2 mp white flash cam for $39.99. Also saw a Primos Truth Cam 35 for $59.99.

That's the only issue I've had with the one Wildview that I own. But I solved that by using an external battery. But you're right, that's the reason I probably won't buy any more of the Wildviews.

Bought 3 of those today..we'll see how they do...the wildgame innovations N6 IR cam is highly reviewed.. of all the reviews I read on Cabelas site it had the best reviews of all trying one of them too

Did you receive these yet? I just ordered one tonight. I got some info on chasingame.com that if the manufacturing date is prior to August (2011) then they will most likely have "whiteout" issues. I guess WGI is pretty good about exchanging defective models for newer ones that work.

So check the manufacturing date when you get them, if you haven't yet, and if you don't mind, let me know what yours are. I'm just curious, since I've already got one on the way. I hope I don't have to mess around with sending it back to either Amazon or WGI.

I have had some issues with whiteout with WGI cameras but nothing too bad.

I could deal with the occasional bad picture but if it's every picture for a half hour period in the morning, and the same in the evening, then I wouldn't be too happy. I've got two Primos cameras to return as it is, hope I don't have more issues with cameras that don't work properly. But from what I hear, these WGI cameras have much better picture quality than the Primos, so that is appealing.
