RE: wildview question
Wait a minute! Do you have one of the old cheap TGL1 Wildviews? If you have one below version 2, you have to remove the card before turning off the power or if it goes dead you would also loose the pics. The Wildview Xtreme 2,3,4 and 5 does not do that. If you have one of the newer ones send it back! My digital readout went bad on one of my xtreme 4's after the warranty was up and they sent me a new one.

That's a very bad idea.... if you take the card out before the unit is off you risk having the card locked and it essentially ruins the card.... You should turn it off before you remove the card. I had (one got stolen) two of the TGL1's and they never erased the pics from the card after being shut off.... it will clear the internal memory if the batteries are taken out though... if the camera is still under warranty i'd send it in to be looked at...

RE: wildview question
yea well you probably don't have an sd card
when the battery dies, the internal battery can't be saved
maybe your battery dies before it takes any pictures?
use an external battery pack. i got a few 12v batteries for nothing (motorcycle batteries work great)
