    I’m going against the grain here. I don’t really like Cuddeback cameras unless it is the C-3000. That was a great camera but their current cameras has problems that many but not all are experiencing. Plus it has the narrow sensor on it which I’m not really a big fan of. I have picked up two Moultrie I40 game cameras and will be picking up a third. These are great cameras for the money. They are IR, they have a quick trigger speed of 1.5-2 seconds which is more than enough to catch deer, it has a excellent flash range and excellent battery life. All of this for around $200 with a little shopping.

    I highly recommend the Moultrie i40 game camera also. Works great and easy to use. And for the price you can’t beat it. The Cuddebacks are way over-priced for what you get. DerekD was right on with his description of it. I got mine for less than $200 off ebay.

    Moultire IR40 and IR60 have me sold. For the price, you get awesome results.

    What problems, I have 3 of them. I don’t like the new design near as much as the old design. But, I don’t have any problems other than the batteries pack design can frustrate a guy.

    The problems I had with the new cameras was a result of the wrong formatting of my cards. People that are formatting their cards in FAT32 will have a problem for sure. They need to be formatted FAT. Just a warning to everyone. You will eventually have problems if you do this with every card with a cuddeback.

    i read a cuddeback review on their new cameras and they are, terrible compared to their previous models. I guess the cover that protects the batteries and card are not waterproof or have a gap in between the two and it is ruining cards and battery life…

    Lip Ripper,

    Just picked up an I40 Moultrie yesterday at Cabellas, its my 2nd digital but my 1rst is a cheap Wildview and was not that satisfied……but just talked with a freind of mine that said the I-40 goes into a sleep mode after a period of time to save battery life….when motion is detected it wakes up but it can be around 5 seconds before a pic is taken….. have you seen this to be true? Either way it seems to be a good deal for what you get….only time will tell!
