User Comments

I don't often get a new toy and think WOW this is even better than I hoped but "so far" this one fits that discription. I have had a GameVu for 2 years and had another piece of junk digital for a while that I returned so thats what I am basing my opinion on. I have no idea what the Snapshot is like but would like to know if anyone has tried it. So I'm not comparing this to that. This Cuddeback is easy to program & set up, has excellent battery life, (Up to 3 months on 4 D cells compared to 3 days with 6 AAs in my GameVu) picture quality, takes video, uses a smart card so the camera can stay in the field, great sensitivity. After being moderately disappointed with the GameVu and totally with the other this thing is a real treat! Best thing a cheese head has made since beer brats! - DickPal.
