Room for Improvements
Let me start off by saying I bought this camera on sale for $130 and it came with a 2GB card and the external batter pack. At first the setup is a little confusing; don?t bother using the software for the computer that comes with it. I just played with the setting until I understood how the menu worked. Once you cycle through each option you see the thought process and it?s not that bad. There have been other cameras that have simpler setups.
This is an Infrared camera, so at times when the light is dim enough to cause the camera to use the IF and there is still enough light outside it will cause a white out of the picture.. Over exposure.
I had this camera out for a solid year and where it was mounted it somehow got water in it. At first it wouldn?t responded, but after it dried out I could scroll through some of the menu. I sent and email and called Wildgame Innovations and since it was under the 1 year warranty (actually over by a week) they game me a RMA and replaced it with one model up. They sent back a Micro Red 6.
I believe that they are trying and yes there is always room for improvements.

Disappointed
I got this camera to supplement my other cameras. I was greatly disappointed in the night-time photos, both still and video. Both settings were very poor in photo quality, as compared to my other game trail cameras. I tried different camera settings with different distances. The camera does do a good job of detecting movement at over 50 feet. The day photo's were acceptable. I called customer service at Wildgame Innovations and after discussing the problems with them, I returned the camera. I am currently waiting for the new replacement of my camera.

Decent daytime photos, average nite time shots. Switch to Energizer lithium batteries and get 9-12 months pf battery life.

takes to many batteries...
It does a good job with still shots....Haven't tried video yet....
It has more options then I need or can figure out how to use...
I wish I could figure out how to erase the memory card....
It takes twice as many batteries as my bushnell trail cam.....why?

Choose another brand
I've been hunting deer since 1972, bow and gun. Been a partner in an outfitting company in Illinois and used trail cams since the beginning. Wildgame is a poor choice for several reasons (check this out on new 2012 models to make sure speed and time for next phooto have not changed in this regard):
Trigger speed appears to be too slow, and the lowest seconds between photos you can set unit at is 30 - should go down to 1 second!
Of the six units purchased in 2011, (3 different Wildgame models) four have failed. First two failed in first use, stopped working completely. Took back to Dicks, found out there was a recall, and these were replaced at no charge. Second two failed this season (2012) by not recording on media cards, but will record on limited internal memory when memory card not inserted in unit (yes, we changed media cards,etc and thoroughly tested at home to make sure WE weren't doing something wrong).
I will never purchase any Wildgame product for the reasons of these failures and the design of time to recover for next photo. The purchase mistake concerning the reaction time and 30 second limit on next photo is my fault........shame on me. Time entire deer season was wasted in regards to trailcam photography because of the performance of these units, not to mention the time and frustration involved.

product did not work
Hung the camera on my deer blind and it would not trip. Took it back and got a different model, new model works fine.
