I see that Chasingame is in the process of doing a review on this camera. Just wondering if anyone has tried it yet? The photo quality looks pretty good! I really want to get a wireless trail camera soon! Thanks for any info you have on this camera. Thanks.

I have one and it's a very nice unit. I think it outperforms everything on the market so far and the picture quality is amazing both day and night. If I think about it I will post some pics later.

Thanks for the info. I am interested in how the cellular system works. Is it easy to set up? Does it email the photos to you in a timely manner? What Service provider are you using? ATT? I would love to see what a photo looks like that is emailed to you! Thanks.

Those photos look pretty good! Are they 640x480? Overall are you happy with the way it is working? How long is the battery life? Sorry for all the questions but I really am thinking about trying this camera.

Yes those are 640x480. If there is a lot of sunlight or several deer or other critters it will reduce the size to 320x240. The camera is working very well and the setup is very simple. I have gotten about 1300 pics transmitted on a set of alkaline batteries. I will try to get some pics of the sd card posted tonight when I get home.

Saw one online for $329. Probably gonna be the standard price for a wireless cam :( but I hope not.

Are you using AT&T? How much does it cost a month? Do you have it so you get unlimited photos every month?

that is different than camera+video. the ltl-acorn has a mode that snaps a photo and then starts taking a video. not everyone likes the concept but I do.

I have it set up through our AT&T account. I just added an extra line and it costs $10 a month extra and I get unlimited txt because that's already in our plan.
