    It looks like an older Moultrie that takes c or d batteries. Price I saw was $109.99. There are way better cameras out there for that price. I would look for a camera that takes AA batteries as the battery life will be way better. Even if the cost is a little more it will pay for itself quickly in battery purchases. JMHO (I wont name drop another camera brand)

    I also see they make a Volvo S80 that would be a better option than that camera :lol:

    If you are dropping 110 on a Moultrie, just make it an M-80. I run three of them and love the pictures.

    Actually I like Reconyx cameras but have a place that sees a bit of other human activity. Thievery scares me when it comes to Reconyx cameras do to the money lost. I have had decent luck with other Moultrie cams but like any of the the other brands I have used I have had issues with them. Just looking for something that won't break the bank if stolen. They take AA's (4 or 8 of them) are small just don't know anyone on any forum that has used one. I guess maybe I will email moultrie to make sure they still make them.

    Hmm, I'll be damned. :)

    I know Cabelas has some Moultrie cams that no one else does.

    I would stick with the m80 for about that same price. You cant beat the m80 for price/options vs any other cam in that price range.

    My next cam will be a m80 black flash for ~ 150$ shipped off ebay. I and 5 other people I know are going on 2 years with m80's/m100's. I would not hesitate to buy another. Hell my i40 from 2007 is still out on a tree snapping pictures.

    In my experience I think that running them dead on batteries ruins them. I try to keep hot batteries in mine and haven't lost a camera since. I love my M-80.
