well it is fixed i guess. my dog knocked it off the chair that i had temporarly set it on while putting on my shoes and now it works great. im kinda wondering for how long though and do not recomend anyone trying this method to fix a cam. it does take greatpics, much better than my 3.1. i took it out to my stand and stuck it on a tree just 3 feet behind my 3.1 to test the difference. the 6.0 cam got 226 picsand the 3.1 got 81both in 28 hrs. Iknewmy 3.1 had a slow trigger but wow. the 6.0 had 8 pictures before the 3.1 took its first one. im glad i got the 4 gig chip!

thanks for the help
