I have the cuddeback and it is hard on batteries. I have been getting about 3 weeks on a set of 4 D batteries. That gets me about 40 to 60 pics and 20-25 20 second movies. Over all I have been happy with it. I can't help with the others.

Now, I am currently building 2 cameras myself. Arkansasbowhunter and Hill Hopper have helped me out a great deal. You can get all the info you need from [link]http://www.hagshouse.com[/link]. I had one all ready to go are realized I didn't have the glass to cover the holes so I have that ordered now. I have it together and have been driving the wife and kids crazy taking pictures in the house. I just hide it all over. Can't wait to get it in the woods.

Personally I'd go with the Cuddeback over the Stealth. Battery life seems to be pathetic at best on the Stealth digitals.

The vidoes are what is killing your batteries on the Cuddeback.

The homebrews have me very intrigued.

I would build one rather than buy one. The sony p32 camera's yield me around 400 pictures off 2 AA batteries. out of the 400 around 330 are with flash. If I only had more day pict's the number you could get would drastically increase I think. the sensor runs off of one nine volt battery and will last around 4 months maybe more. just check out some of my pictures I post on here doing a search or I think some may still be on the first page. I visit hagshouse.com and jesse's hunting page. both are great sites to visit and a bunch of willing people to help you out. If you want there are even people that will build them for ya. I am not a commercial guy but just the do it yourselfer.

here is a link of some of my picts
