The new camera runs on AA batteries, instead of the C-cells that the old camera used. Battery life with the AA's should be vastly better, but I haven't had it out long enough to know. The new camera can be set on Wide Angle, and can take video clips, too. Midway has them on sale, now. :twocents:

Last year I was using Wild Game innovation cams and was less than pleased as I got very few pics as well as half the time it didnt even talk my pic when I was going to pull the card :bash:

The first pic is off the moultrie. The second one was frome the WGI cam and notice how green and fuzzy it is.....

Post by: Jingles on August 11, 2013, 08:52:11 AM: I have 2 Cuddeback cameras and am pleased with both of them. an Expert, that they no longer sell or service and an Attack have both out right now soaking and both run on D Cells. The attack uses an SD card up to a 32 GB and the expert uses a CF card up to a 8GB. They are pricey though but when you can catch hummingbird pictures sure can't complain about slow trigger speed
