    I jotted down more scenarios and considered trading out my haste gear for crit gear, since it didn't require losing any spellpower. I wondered about diminishing returns, raid buffs, and crit from intellect. The more I thought, the more the variables started to pile up around me and it wasn't long before I realized I should get some more qualified help. So, I gathered up my notes and went off to see Zusterke. Come on! What are you waiting for? Remember us always feed you the most exceptional service as well as fastest delivery.

    we've had 4 capture IRs for a few years and not an issue with any of them. 1000's of pics each and the only thing we noticed was that the duracells work way better than energizers in them. Bought a wildgame IR4 and it went back after only 20 or so pics. It just shut down and wouldn't fire back up. They sent a new one so no issue with customer service,but I most like won't keep it.

    I've had a lot of them. Moultrie cams seem to work well.

    I recently purchased a bunch of those little wildgame innovations 6.0mp cams. They're tiny and they work pretty well. The night time range isnt all that far, but, works well enough for me to buy some more !!

    Neat site, trailcampro.com.
    They run all kinds of tests on popular models, you may be suprised how good and how bad some cameras are.

    I really like the primo cameras for the price you can't beat it. Trigger is good and battery life is ok, about 3 mouths. I think the best in my experience is the 2009 Bushnell, as I have had a few problems with my 2010 model. Overall great cameras. I have had many issues with my cuddebacks along with my fiends, stay away.

    I had a Primos 46 and a Cuddeback, then I bought 2 more Primos cameras. The Primos cameras dominate the Cuddeback.

    rock,, i have a 46 model taking pics of my long driveway as i write this because of crackhead crimes locally
    cam is in 3 burst mode and i am trying to rundown this set of battery's before changing to a new set and switching to 15 sec video clips, I like the cam but it takes a bit long to wake up from sleep mode and the ir lights seem to spook deer for the most part i found that out running in video mode and seeing deer run off after looking directly at the cam after i few seconds, not that any other (ir) cam doesn't have the same flaw. I am getting away from night pics at least in places i care about.
    but overall good cam for the money and best d-cell cam i have had to date.

    You are a tough nut to crack. ;) I'm not sure how many times I've said this to you but not all IR cams have lights. A few of the Reconyx cams DO NOT have IR lights on their IR cams, I own 2 of them. NO lights what so ever.

    I did read It right. You said "not that any other ir cam doesn't have the same flaw". Sounds to me when you say any your referring to all cams. If not I apologize.
