Actually the slower trigger time is pretty typical for a lot of the digis on the market, especially all the cheaper models. I know I've had the chance to own and test dozens of different trail cams and everyone from Stealth to Moultrie have been extremely slow. Remember, only the NEW '07 Moultries have a faster trigger time. Cuddebacks are fast as well as my Cam Trakker units. I'm seriously thinking about buying one of the newer Moultires just to see how fast they really are and what image quality I'll get with them. I'd also like to try one of their new IR models, the images I've seen have been impressive.
