    Left there trail cams out to come back 1-1/2 months later to find that there cam is dead or near dead with 0-200 pics? Not a big deal if I run out of batts ....no thing my fault, but I feel like my Primos truth cam 35s reset and erase my cards my mineral sites will get pounded visibly yet I don't have the pics of something is driving my batt down. I have waited a month @ the same site separate times in which I had 1500 pics to zero cause of a dead batt (assumed). Is this typical?

    Covert all the way, Black 60! I've had my cameras out for months now on the Video mode(45 second)and the batteries are full strength with tons of video and pics taken! They run off of 12 AA.....

    Had 550 on one camera and 525 on another camera with 3/4 battery life still left on my cameras.. I use the WindGame Innovation Micro6 Red.. 4 AAA batteries.. Might just be the brand of camera.. We found that the cameras that use the "C" batteries don't last as long as ones that use "AAA".. And a whole lot cheaper to get batteries for..

    Just what I use, not bashing anyones cameras.. Its all personal preference..

    You may have had a bad set of batteries, or your camera may be malfunctioning.

    I have a truthcam 60, and I get over 1700 pics on one set of batteries.

    Maybe it's just a bad cam.

    I can only offer a recommendation from what I've got experience with; that being said, I love my moultrie m-80's. I get close to 2,000 pics on 8 AA's. Images are sharp and clear. I wish I had more of them to hang in the woods.

    Like others have said I LOVE MY MOULTRIE M-8- AND C-50 both take great pics.I also run 4 wildgame Micro6 Ir cams and have great luck with those.I did have an issue with 2 of them at about a year and they fixed the problem fast and free.....

    My ltl acorn cam took just shy of 6000 pics on 5mp on 4 alkaline battery's as was still not dead close but not dead.
    My primos cams treat me even worse then yours by the way.I just leave them at home anymore.
