Since this past January 2010 I have purchased several 2009 Bushnell Trophy Cameras. I have been doing several tests. Bushnell recommends using the SanDisk 2 GB SD card in this camera. I have tested Verbatim 2 GB, and also Kodak 2GB. These also work good.
Batteries tested: Energizer Max. I have purchased Energizer Ultimate Lithium 8X, and also Energizer lithium 7X. These I plan to use in colder weather. I recently acquired Perfectly Natural Premium Alkaline Rechargeable. The package rates these at 1.5 volt. They come fully precharged and supposed to hold a charge for 7yrs. if not used. I did an in house test with these. They hold there charge well giving lots of 30 second video with a 10 second delay. I did a recharge to bump them up from 1.42 volt. At full charge my meter gave a reading of 1.65 volt. These batteries do not retain a recharge memory. They will fully recharge. Any other rechargeable batteries I found are rated at 1.2 to 1.25 volt with a full charge of 1.37 to 1.39 volt. On the package and I quote "Multi purpose use (not recommended for digital cameras). I am using these in several of the 2009 Bushnell Trophy cameras with no problem. These were purchsed with or without the compatible charger in Canada at Princess Auto. This extra storage capacity will make a big difference.

I originally bought one of the 2009 models in 2010. I felt any problems with that year would have been worked out. i had read various reviews from this forum as well as others before making my purchase. I was very satisfied with the performance as far as day time video and battery life. This is the reason I ended up purchasing a total of six more. Thanks for the suggestion. I appreciate these responses.
