    I was wondering what you guys use to check your trail camera. Digital camera, picture viewer, swap chips, computer, or anything else. I usually just bring my small netbook computer that I got from school, but i also use a the first Cuddeback picture viewer that they came out with. Also how do you save them. Do you have a chip with all of your pictures on it or just a folder in your computer?

    Chip swap here. Others I know take a digital camera with them and put card in it to view.

    I switch SD cards and get out as quickly as I can. There is plenty of time to check your pics when you get to your vehicle or at home.

    I swap cards also, but I do check the card with my digital if I am in a new spot and want to see if the camera should be moved or keep it where it is.

    I swap cards also,fast in and out and take them home and use a card reader in my computer and just move the files i want to my computer. I always re-format the cards at that time because i dont know which cam they may go back into.
    At x-mas this year wall-e had 8 gb sandisk cards for 9.88 on black friday each so i stocked up.
