I have the solid green model & just ordered the camo. This cam has a great video feature which you can program individual clips up to a minute long if you desire, day or night. The delay between pics or videos is minimal as well !

I have the green model &amp; just ordered the camo. These cams are at their best in the video mode... pics are pretty good too ! You can set your videos for up to a mintue long and the dely between pics or videos can be set to a minimal amount of time.

I looked and was impressed, right up until it said, NOT WEATHERPROOF!!! How asinine is that.

No one I've talked to has had any problems with these cameras in some real extreme weather. I think it's a case of the manufacturer over reacting and over stating.

Well it sure got my attention, but if people are putting them through it with no problems, you are probably right.

Judging from some of these threads, they may have to started stating, "not ant-proof".

Sure seems like an awesome little cam.

Hi Guys, I'm the new guy here Nice site by the way. As far as the term weatherproof on the SG550, I have had my units in down pours and also the wife hosing it down not knowing its in her garden with no water getting inside the unit or condensation. All my customers have had no issues with water getting in the unit. Not being waterproof means it is not meant to be submerged in water.

The camo's last batch had some minor problems but that batch is no more and the last and now new batch will be in today or tomorrow. QC with the manufacturer has been addressed and HCO now runs 48 hr tests on the units as they come in to weed out any defective units. What impresses me most besides this incredible little cam is the customer service and technical support from HCO. Best i've seen so far. One of the main problems has been SD card compatibility. The recommended SD card which is used by myself and HCO is the Kingston 2gb SD card and second on the list is PNY.
