ORIGINAL: buckeater
thanks alot for putting that up. i might just have to go ahead and get some. i think trigger speed and battery life (well mainly battery life) are the biggest reasons i look for. i leave my cams aloan during the summer and try to only check them once a month. and then when im hunting i only check them when i am by them and even then it seems like i leave the new batteries in the truck

I did plenty of researching on the net and decided on the Scout Guard. It arrived yesterday. The programming was straightforward and simple. It's all ready for the field. I plan to get it set out this weekend.
Can't wait to see the results!

On 5 MP IR I average 1 - 1.09 MB
5MP Day Color about 1.3 MB
The more objects you get in the pic, the slightly higher MB it will take.
On a non busy color pic, mainly sky and some bushes it will be as low as 834kb.
Hope this helps.

A jpeg image file achieves a 10 to 1 comperssion. Some details are lost during compression with little perceivable loss in image quality. The smaller file size allows the image to load faster versus other formats like, .tif, .bmp etc. This is the most common file format used in digital cameras today.
Bottom line is, in general a 5MP color pic can average about 15 MB. Jpeg compresses it to about 1.5MB so that you can have more pics on your SD card.
Hope this helps.

Hey Guys,
Having the same problem as rasorbacq.
HCO told me it was my SD card so I bought another. Samething-- Split pictures and Red, Green, Blue , Yellow digitalize blocks for the pictures.
What SD card do you guys use? I have been using SanDisk.
The first 43 pictures and 3 weeks or so, were good then all of a sudden the issues. Michael from HCO is the one I've been going through.

Got the replacement 550 Last week . This camera IR works like it is supposed to . The last the IR would come on at 1800 all I would see was white pics for 3-4 hours then it would be dark and all OK.
Like my last 550 cam I have been running this one on ext battery. All ws good for a few days then the cam stopped working . Plug in the remote just a blank lite screen . Unplug the ext battery cam fires right up 3/3 for power. plug in the remote again and blank lite screen again. Tested the battery.4.5 volts. Maybe low but the low power blue LED didn't come on and the unit didn't switch to internal batteries.
Any ideas???
