My 2006 no flash cudde has been fairly good to me. I love the video's on it and the picture quality is excellent. The problems I've had with mine are when it swtiches from color picture to black and white. A few times the pics never turned out when it was in the time when it couldn't decide which to use, 45 minutes before dark or so is when It happened a few times. The other problem I had was it got wet one time. Other then that its been excellent. There prices have came down some this year on the 2008 models, I'll be buying another no flash cudde this summer.
