I love Moultrie's cameras. I've got 2 of the I-40's and they take great pics. No flash at night and really vivid daytime pics.

Oh yeah, I need to add my 2 cents on the battery life. It is awesome. I can go almost all year on Duracells (seems like it's 6 of them) and take 1000's of pics. I don't know what they do that makes them be able to run so long, but they last

They are not cheap..but the Reconyx is by far the best I have ever used. I have 4 of them and 4 cuddebacks. Cuddybacks miss ALOT of pics but still work ok. Just remember with a cuddeback you cannot
interchange the memory cards. Mark the card and the camera and only use that card in that camera.

I have a moultrie, a Bushnell trophy cam, and a scoutguard. I'm going to order 2 more scoutguards this week. I have had one for 4 years and it takes an average of 200 pics a week and I leave it out year around and I haven't had a lick of trouble yet plus the batteries last a minimum 8 months. That says alot and I hear their customer service is top notch. you will find out that battery life is very important. My moultrie cost me about a $1 a day to run. Its eats batteries.

I think the new Moultrie I series cameras suck c@ck! I had to send my I35 back and a person I hunt with had to send 3 I55s back. They would all go into "sleep mode" and would never wake back up. You could jump up and down in front of the camera and it would not turn on. All the while I have about a 3 foot deep crater in the ground in front of the camera where the salt/minerals used to be. Fresh tracks right in front of the camera every day and zero pictures of deer or hogs. Just blanks. Don't buy one.

I have 4 of the new primos cam 46. I have been extremely impressed with all of them in the field.

Try looking at the reviews on this sight, very helpful for me when I was looking for a camera. I bought the wildgame innovations x6c and have been very happy.

What problem are they having? I have 6 now and have never had a problem. I can definitely tell the difference in them over 2 Moultrie I40's that I have. The deer are always looking at the I40's and they never notice the Cuddeback NoFlashes that I have.
