It's a Wildview VGA Digital Scouting Camera, STC-TGL1. I just saw the Moultrie at WallyWorld for $100, and I think I'll get one of those as well. I worried about a $300 camera as well. This one has an internal 8mg hardd rive, or you can add a SD disc to boost it up. it uses 4 'C' batteries, and in two weeks everything is good, but then it's not super cold or anything. i figure i'll store it after the rut and it'll last better.

it does have to be hooked to a computer to download. with the SD card i guess you could have two cards and take out the full one and implant the empty one to go home. This morning, i took the laptop, sat down by the camera and the read out said 145!!! and jsut from Saturday AM!
so y ou open her up, flip the switch to 'off' and plug in the USB cord, then plug it into the laptop. the laptop reads it as an external drive, and you just open up it's harddrive, i cut the whole folder out and place it in 'My Pictures' . that clears the harddrive. then, unhook the laptop, readjust for pictures and flip the swtich through test and to 'on', and close the door. gives me 1 minute to get out of the range.
the way i had it last week, the flash didn't light up the feeder area, so i moved it over and closer. you could see deer and hog, but not any antlers or whatnot.
i flipped to 'hi resolution' this morning..so i'm ancy to get out midweek and download tos ee what they look like!
you can tell between the pics how i moved it 90 degrees to the east and a bit closer, it was pointing due north in a few of those pics.
all in all i'm happy. i figure at $6.00 a roll to develop 24 pics, at 387 pics or so, that woulda been $95 or so dollars in developing, not to mention 16 rolls of film at what...$2-3 bucks a roll for the cheap stuff?
hope this helps someone thinking of a purchase. i'm glad my wife pushed me into it..wonder if i'll get pushed after i get the second one?!?!
