bigmster127: Try looking on the package for a manufacture date for a start. Sometimes the business selling them doesn't know. I had this happen. They claimed in my case, it was a store selling the Bushnell Trophy Camera. These had come in with their 2010 order earlier this spring. In this case the 2010 Bushnell had more LED. On the back of that package the manufacture date was 2009. Chasingame.com should be able to help. There is some pretty helpful members on this forum as well. Good luck.
