I put it out about a week ago looking over a big pile of apples. Got 360 pictures of 2, or possibly 3 deer, one of which is a little buck.
Anyone looking for a white flash camera might want to check into the Moultrie D55. Amazon has them for $59.86, free shipping. They are best used with bait, as the trigger speed is not the fastest around.

Did yours give you problems with the red aiming light? Mine didn't work worth a damn.
All in all though, good price and like you said - free shipping.

Just picked one of those up myself and am heading up this weekend to snag it after its initial 2 week soak.

The laser sure didn't seem to work as well as it does on my D40's. It seems to spread out and doesn't have much range. But I didn't really spend a lot of time trying it. I'll try to pay more attention to it next time.

That's what mine did. Put my hand in front of the laser just a foot or so away from the camera and it was really dim and about the size of my hand. I'll fiddle with it next time too.
Your pics are nice and clear, can't wait to see what I have on mine!

Our's eats a lot of batteries!!! But most of the time it's nov when then are up and cold as heck. Plus taking around 1500 pics every 3-4 days :chuckle:
Well I know it's not going to be as easy on batteries as the IR cams I have, but I can already tell that it's much better than my D40's. I usually get 6 weeks with the 6 "D" batteries in the D40's. With this D55 I bet I will get at least 12 weeks out of the 6 "C" batteries. And I'm fine with that.
Cold weather will almost for sure change that though. If I use my Moultries in the winter I will only use them with rechargeable external batteries.

That is what I have been thinking of doing as well. I am going to buy a new batch of cams this year. I might do another batch of d55's with battery packs.
If you can get to them with a vehicle, or close, try using a car battery. Or a tractor battery. As long as it's 12 volts, it will run them.

Snapped a couple of this youngster. Nothing huge showing up yet.
All in all I'm pleased with the quality of the pics for the price I paid

I'm pretty new, but I think you have 2 little bucks there....? Correct me if I'm an idiot (likely), but in the first set of pics it looks like there are 2 different bucks, one is the clean 2X2 and the other has a small 3rd point (spine, spike, branch, eyeguard, shovel, horn, bone.... did I get them all?) on his right side.

I bought four, just what I was looking for, a sub$100 camera with a strong recommendation from a member.
Just remember, and I believe I already mentioned this, but with this camera you really need to use bait or some kind of attractant, to at least get the animals to slow down. Otherwise you may be disappointed with this camera, as you will very likely get a lot of pictures of nothing.
