Default RE: Comparing digital trail cams (The POST To End All POSTS)

Thanks go outtoglew22 for oursecond post.

Brand & Model: Cuddeback 1.3 mp

Link: www.cuddebackdigital.com

Cost: $400 on sale for $300

Battery Quantity & Size: 4 D's

Battery Life: I usually get around 3 months

Trigger Speed: Can't be more then a second, just as quick as a 35mm i have

Trigger Distance: The largest clearing I have tested in was 20 yds and it sensed it right away

Resolution: 1.3 mp

Memory: It uses a CF card, the larger the size the larger amount of pics you can take.

Picture Viewer: Yes you can view images in the field with a separate hookup you must buy, but its just as easy for me to wait the 5 mins to get back to my computer.

Security: The camera is secured to the tree with a cable and/or a 4 inch long screw, it also has a hold in the bottom where you can put a padlock on it. If someone does manage to get it off the tree they will never be able to operate it without knowing your password.

Strap: See above

Good Qualities: I haven't see many cams that take bad day pictures, but i think i speek for most when i say the magority of my picutres are at night and this is where the cuddeback really outshines a lot of other cameras, i really havent seen many night pictures that can compare to the cuddeback. The customer service is great as well (see below).

Bad Qualities: Some, including myself, have had problems with the software mine stopped working not long after i got it, but the company was great they sent me another one the day i called them even before i had sent the other one back and its been great since then.

Happy with purchase: Yes, if i had any extra money to throw around i wouldn;t hesitate buying another. I belive the camera is worth every bit of the $400 it was origianlly marked as but $300 is just a great price IMO.
