I will not get too excited yet with the new Cuddebacks. The last time they changed designsin 2006 it turned out to be a disaster. They took their proven 3.0 design, and ruined the battery holding compartment, andreduced battery life not to mention all the other problems.
Both my 2006 Experts that were the so called new improved design have been nothing but problems, and both been in for service multiple times.

Everyone I know that purchased their so called new improved design in 2006has had nothing but issues.

I will be curious to see the reviews on these cameras.

Cuddeback had no choice but to lower their prices. There are far better choices on the market today with much lower prices. Moultrie was simply kicking their butt in sales.
Right now the Moultrie I-40 is the best camera for the money on the market today. I am running 7 of them with not 1 issue.
