Timbercreek, He wasn't trying to rip on you, he was just stating a fact. You pictures are hard to view. What good is a $100.00 camera if the pics look like that??

If you don't want to spend a lot of money build your own. They show you how to do it at Hag's House.com. Maybe you can do something to beef up your flash. Those pictures are way to dark, actually I haven't ever seen pics that bad. As with anything, you get what you pay for. It probably works in the day light.

I use the new Penn's Woods 3.2 digital. I bought 12 of them from Cabela's when they had them marked at $367.00. Awesome pictures and the camera can be used independently of the unit. I have gone through one set of C batteries in each unit since July. I average 5 to 10 pics a night.

Here is a sample of mine from about 15 feet
