Title: Moultrie D-40?
Post by: PolarBear on September 27, 2008, 08:32:39 PM: Howdy
The other day my kids decided to supprise me with a Moultrie D-40. They thought it would be cool to try and get pics of the bobcat and other critters that run through our place. My question is how do I download the pics to my computer? I use a Mac and the USB function on the camera says it is formatted for a PC. If I get a SD card and reader will I be able to view them om my Mac or am I s.o.l.? I used the cam the other night and got some pretty cool raccoon pics but the internal memory only hold 15 pics at a time. I am kinda dumb when it comes to this stuff so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post by: PolarBear on October 02, 2008, 08:26:05 PM: I'll post some pics from it tomorrow. I'll run out and set it up by the apple tree and try for some deer shots instead of the raccoons on the porch. The pics turn out much better with the sd card than with the internal memory. It is not bad for a cheepo cam.

Post by: tmike on October 02, 2008, 08:54:06 PM: I posted this awhile ago. This was taken 2 weeks ago. For the price you can't go wrong. the battery life doesn't last as good as the i60, but you'll get several weeks.

Cute little *censored*s, eh? I just hope the hillbillies down the road don't poach them.
