RE: Cudde back no flash ???
Compared to my Leaf River, the CB no flash uses batteries 5x's faster. The picture quality at night is not great. I knew it would be b/w for night shots, but the range & pic quality is poor. Trigger speed isbetter on my CB compared to the LR cam I have.
Overall, I am much happier with my regular Leaf River than this camera. Plus they are cheaper. I have not tried the Leaf River IR yet though.
