i just got one of these today for christmas, are these good cameras? i have heard reports that these are really good cameras, does any body have any feedback on this camera good or bad? same thing as the bushnell thinking about getting rechargeable batteries, and what is a good brand?

I have 2 Wildview II and a Wildview 3. I have been very happy with the II models and just recently put up the WV 3. Can't beat them for the price. As far as rechargeable battreies, you can get a Stealth 12V battery pack (~$40). They work in the Wildviews. I have had my new pack going for 5 + weeks (however not many pics over that timeframe). I have an older pack that doens't last much more than1-2 weeks also. Individual recheargeble batteries will only last a day or 2.

I as well got the same wv3 for x-mas and was curious as to its performance.

I have had my xtreme 3 for about 3 months. It has taken some good pics and I have been happy with it. I like how light weight and compact it is compared to some of the other cameras. I did have some trouble using the SD cards in it. I sent Wildview an email and they quickly responded with a few sugestions. I ended up formating the card per the manual and so far it seems to be working fine.
