Not bad for the price but a little more money will get you more........2006-08-15

I have both the Wildview and the Wildview II. Both have functioned flawlessly.

The Wildview is okay for the price that I paid. I have tried different brands of 35mm game/trail cameras with almost no success. They either did not wind correctly or did not rewind as indicated, thereby exposing the film. Then you toss in the cost of film and development just to see a what kind or how many deer are in an area, it gets very expensive. With the digital Wildview I have never had a problem with battery life or function of the camera. I can take hundreds of digital pictures for a couple of dollars in batteries. I would spend hundreds of dollars for the same amount of pictures on a 35mm game cam that may or may not even come out.

There are two main problems with the Wildview. First is the resolution. It does not take the best pictures in the world but I use it for a deer cam and it fills the need. I can easily see how big the deer are and count points on a buck. I do not take the pictures to keep and only to scout. For that purpose, the Wildview is okay. If that is what you are looking for it is worth the small price. If you are looking for a high quality camera to have some really nice wild shots of game, don't even bother with this one as you will be very disappointed.

The second problem is that it does not have the date and time stamp on it. The Wildview II that I bought later does and also has a much nicer picture quality. As I stated earlier, I deer hunt and the time of day and phase of the moon are important to me. Without the time and date, I have no way of judging when the game is moving in my area.

The bottom line:
If you just want to see what is coming across a trail or lurking near a feeder with no intent of keeping the pictures, this camera will do for a very small price. I have left mine out for a month with a 256MB SD card and had literally hundreds of pics on it. If you want a high quality game cam or the time and date stamp on it, by all means look elsewhere.

Not sure what camera the previous reviewer was talking about. This camera is digital, not film.

It has no problem triggering on motion, and it 'wakes up' from sleep mode in just a few seonds. But my dissatisfaction comes from the extremely poor resolution of this camera. It can easily be misread as having 3 Megapixels but it actually has 300,000 pixels - a reduction of 90%. The results are extremely grainy pictures. Count me as very dissatisfied.

I received model MC2-GV as a gift. It broke after one roll of film. Company will not honor warranty because it was a gift and I have no receipt. Stay away.
