I bought 30 of the excites. The first year I had good resultswith 26 of the cameras , the other 4 didnt take as many pics as the others. The next year I dont know what happened, they all got harder on batteries and some the flash would go off every minute but not record a picture. With some of the cameras they would only take 30 0r 40 pics befor the batteries were dead, they would flash everytime there was movement but not record an image. It was as if there was an internal memory in the camera and after so many pics they started to shut down? This is my findings anyway.I had 60 cards and all cards worked good. I will not buy another excite again.
