Default RE: Got a Cuddeback 3.0

I too have one of the 3MP Cuddebacks and while it's a very nice camera, I'm not sure it's worth the $400 price tag. It has a few quirks that bugs me.

1) It has no on/off switch whatsoever. Every single time I go up to check it, I get popped in the face by the flash. Very disappointing IMO. It should at least have some type of exernalon/off/standby switch.
2) IME the flash is weak. I don't know if they improved that since I bought mine. The flash on my Moultrie 200 is better.
3) I have yet to figure out how to hook my laptop up to it and view/download the pictures.

IMO the new Moultrie 3.1MP is a better buy. For 1/2 the cost of the Cuddeback it wil take pics that are just as good, and has a better flash. The only advantages I have seen that the Cudde has over the Moultrie is the fast trigger time and maybe the security features. Having the temp & moon phase stamped on the pics from the Moultrie is definitely a plus IMO. The weakest points of the Moultrie are the slower trigger time and the mounting system.
