A couple weeks ago, I received the new '06 Cuddeback Expert digi. Thus far, after several images and video clips and having the chance to play with different settings I must state that I've been very impressed with the cams performance. The newly redesigned cam for '06 has a faster trigger speed, better flash and longer battery life and I believe it's going to live up to that billing. The settings and menu are easy enough and there is much potential and room for experimentation with this unit. I'd suggest that if the money isn't a problem, then order one soon. Image quality is very nice and the flash even on "Standard" is impressive. The flash also has a "High" setting for really illuminating and gettinglonger distance shots at night. I also love the fact that when taking video clips (10 to 60 seconds) the cam will ONLY take the video IF there is ample enough light to do so and when it is dark of heavily shadowed then it turns on the flash and still takes a quality still image. It's just a fun trail cam to run and MUCH, MUCH improved over the 2 Cuddebacks I have owned in the past.
standard (average) image, at a reasonable distance, that you'll get from the cam.
3MP day
3MP night, standard flash
IF CF Card is removed the unit will take a lower resolution 1.3MP image. I have a couple 512MB cards and don't plan on testing this feature again. I just wanted to see what they would be like for a day or two???
