Default SC-550(pictures added)

I got it today and it is smaller than I thought.

Looks good, you cannot turn the night mode off and it does burst of 3. It appears it can only be set to take 3 burst.

Will put on this weekend for a test.

You are right. You can not turn off night mode. However, you can adjust the picture burst to 1, 2 or 3. Go thru your menu settings and adjust it there.............

Post some pics when you get it out there...........

Well I have my first set of pics and not good. I got mostly blanks, I am going to try and setup different and see what happens. I am going to put a fresh set of batteries in it.

I will post some picture soon.

The only pictures I got from it. Note how far the first turkey is past the camera.







Any suggestion? Am I doing something wrong?

Well my guess is why you got blank pics is because of the brush in the lower left hand corner of the pics, if the wind was blowing the movement of that brush could have set it off, i also saw alot of leaves on the ground. In the pic where the 1st turkey is almost out of view, the size of the turkey and the height of the camera have alot to do with it. Note how on the pic where you and your friend or you and the girl walked past the pic snapped correctly.Thats just my opinion though. I have 2 scoutguards and when set up correctly i've had no problems.

leadoperator is right on. That little branch with leaves on the lower left corner will trigger the cam if the wind starts to move it. Also the leaves can trigger it if a gust of wind blows thru and moves the leaves. How do you have your cam mounted? Is it a small tree that can wave back and forth if its windy? That would set it off as well.
