Oh I see. The battery arrangement to me isn't a problem at all. I can't see where anyone would have to have a book for this area of the cam, but I guess it should be a bit clearer.

Yes, the trigger is slower than 1 sec. This is a definate. I mean really, its hard to get much camera for $150 isn't it? Unfortunately, with all the thieving that goes on, I won't put a high dollar cam in the woods.

Time will tell if its worth having or not.

Thanks.
