I'm looking at buying one and have a question. If you don't have a separate viewer, can you just take out the SD card and plug it into a digital camera and look at the pictures?

I haven't tried it that way but yet.  It simply saves them as .jpgs

I pull out my SD card and throw it in my laptop to view them.  You can
get a cheap USB adapter for them as well.

Stay away from the Stealth Cameras, they are battery hogs.

I use Moultree game cams and just started with the Stealth cameras.

I use my digital camera to veiw the photos and I have a portable picture printer to print the ones I want to keep. I captured photo's of 2 bucks i took last season on the game cams.

As far as battery use, get a camera that allows for the hook up of an outside power source. I my case I hooked up solar panels to run the cameras. Never ran out of power but did run out of sd card space if i did not clear the card every 2 weeks.

Did you hook up solar to the Moultrees?  I just bought the i40.

I have the I40 and even during the winter the batteries lasted for several weeks at a time without any additional power.  Since it has warmed up, its gotten even better.

I heard the battery life on the i40 was great, which is why I just bought one.  I figured if hooking up a
small solar panel would be easy it might be worth the effort.

My moultree I40 gets decent battery life but i found their solar unit on sale for 20 bucks and could not pass it up. I hooked the solar unit up and never replaced batteries since.

The solar unit works with any camera with an outlet plug and the correct voltage.

Thanks for the heads up on the solar unit.

I have a leaf river.... it is a little pricy but I have liked it a lot... I wish I had more time to use it though.
