RE: HAD TO GET THIS OF MY CHEST
I can't believe soo many guys have had problems with the 35mm Stealth Cams, out of the dozen or so cameras that my buddies and I have bought, none of them had a single problem. Film loading was a little tricky at first, but if you press down fairly hard on the center of the back side of the camera when you load the film, it will advance the roll properly. Manual rewind was another thing we had trouble with till we read the directions and found that the camera had to be in test mode in order for the manual rewind to work. We have thousands of pictures from the units we have had and have got our best quality pics from these units.
On the other hand, the digital Stealth is about the biggest joke of a unit I have seen. Terrible battery life, INCREDIBLY slow shutter speed, and sub-standard picture quality best describe it. The experiences we have had with the Moultrie units have been the same way, they work decent for awhile and then just crash. Heck, the new 35mm Moultrie didn't even make it through a single roll of film. The unit when turned on would simply start snapping picture after picture.
When it comes to 35mm units, the saying "you get what you pay for" isn't entirely true, which shows with the thousands of good game cam pics on here every year that were taken with these units. Now on the other hand, when it comes to digital, that seems to be true, and that is why I dropped the extra cash and got the Trail Mac digital.
