3.0 out of 5 stars Cuddeback Excite, January 14, 2009

Hey this is Cody, and I hope people can get something from my review as follows. I'm a huge hunter and have used several 'modern' game cameras for my own use as well as for work (wildlife research).
I have used Wildview, Stealth Cam, Moultrie and Cuddeback Excite.
The Excite seemed to be a great camera for a few months then had a problem with the battery not making connection.
Got a new piece (basically a recall part (but Cuddeback won't admit it)) and it worked better for another 2 months.
Then I needed a new circuit board, got that fixed under warranty.
Then a few months later the camera takes 5 minutes to start and won't transfer pictures so basically the camera is worthless and will cost a lot to fix so it sits not be used.
1.I'll be honest, the Cuddeback has quick trigger times (compared to others I've used).
2. The pictures seem pretty darn good!
3. Battery life seemed decent (although it always had problems)

I would love to rave this camera up as it worked very well when it worked, but with all the cameras i've used I would rather have something that isn't as quick or have as great pictures and saves me time and money and would just work.
I'm directly relating this to the Moultrie I-40. It's a great simple camera, that in most ways doesn't beat others. But the batteries last a long time (3+months) and I haven't had a problem to date ( 8 months)!
Hopefully cuddeback has figured out their problems and if they continue to have problems back up their product for longer periods if they are going to be selling items for $200 or more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best camera I have owned to date!, December 3, 2008

Over the past 6-7years I have owned several trail camera's. The cuddeback capture has been my best to date. I have it about two months and it has taken about 1000 pix. A lot of small animals which I could avoid by setting the camera a little higher on the tree.

The hair trigger is fabulous. I have pix of birds flying by the camera, rabbits running, squirrels running, bucks chasing doe, etc., without blurring.

I put batteries in when I got the camera and they are still going strong, which had been one of my chief complaints of other camera's in the past.

It is very easy; the easiest so far to setup and use. I had no problem with the SD cards and can view them with my camera or computer without a problem.

The only negative is that about one out of every 70 pix seems to be underexposed for some reason. It's not the flash because it happens on sunny days too.

The pictures are sharp and crisp enough that I can see details on most of the animals.

I am very pleased with this camera!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Camera is good, instructions poor, September 13, 2008

This review is from: Cuddeback Capture Game Scouting Camera (Sports)

The camera works as advertized but the instructions are poor. This is my third game camera. The first was a 35mm some years ago, it wasted film and did not perform well, I took it back. The second was a very cheap Wildview that worked good but then died, I took it back (the company suggest that and did not volunteer to fix it). The Cuddeback worked well but the rotary switch is hard to set and I had to put a white dot on the pointy end so I could see what setting I was making. Then the SD card was not being recognized by the camera and I turned to the Cuddeback Web site. It only said I had to format the card on my computer but did not say how. I downloaded the free Trophy Room software but the HELP feature would not work. Then I tried ordering a manual but there is no manual available. Then Trophy Rooom moved all of My Pictures to it's program on my computer and it took several hours to move them back. I removed Tropy Room from my computer and now only use Windows picture program to process my game camera picutes. And don't bother calling the company this time of year, it must be hunting season back there and they don't answer the phone. After two days I solved the SD card problem by myself and have taken some very good pictures of raccoons and skunks stealing my cat's food on the front porch and the deer stealing alfalfa hay from the barn. I would reccomend paying a bit more and buy the Cuddeback with the IR flashless feature.
