    Just to update. There is a firmware upgrade available now that improves darkness during transition phase and reduces blur on night pics. Works beautifully. Look at the time on this one

    Looks like he's having a hard time holding his head up.

    That's the only one I saved because of the fawn. Most of my pics are daylight this time of year. I will check that camera again soon beings it's behind my house and post some more.

    Conspiracy...LOL

    I just got back from Minnesota and will throw up more once I get some. Hoping to do the firmware update this week too. White flash cams will always produce the best photos of course, they should.

    I was gonna move the cam, but now I think I'll attempt to get the firmware update on it and let it soak a little longer in same spot in order to truly compare before and after. Should have an overall opinion of the thing by end of month I hope. Just like any cam there are pluses and minuses for sure...overall so far I'm liking the little thing though.

    Update fellas, pics are at home but I posted a video of Bertier (a buck) on Small Acre Hunting's Facebook page. Video is awesome and I did get the firmware update just gotta apply it to the cam next time out there.

    I did notice in the string of 3 pictures before the videos were darker, however Matt at Radix said with the update it will be nearly identical. So far so good with these things.
