On the contrary. If you read my original post, I said I have an Excite (and an older 3.0 MP Cuddeback). Never bashed them except to say they have some engineering flaws. For the price they charge, they should be better than they are (engineering-wise). Picture, trigger, & battery life is exceptional. I have always asked myself, "why did they change from the older models???" They were better (better battery life anyway, similar picture quality and trigger, and no engineering flaws). Simple answer, they wanted to be able to charge more! Capitalism at it best, so they rushed out a product that was inferior to the previous models. The new Cuddebacks are good, just in my opinion they are not $400+ good.

I don't think the WV pics are all that bad. People have to ask themselves is, isthe pic quality difference worth $300? (yes trigger speed is also better - is the 4-6 sec. worth $300??). I would not hesitate to buy another older 3.0 MP Cudderback, but wouldn't think of buying another newer Cudde. However, I did just buy another WV (Extreme 4) today for $100. Oh no, I have "hijacked" the thread again. Shame on me for telling my experience and point of view and clouding the poor fellow's mind that had a question on Cuddebacks with input on other cams & options.
