I picked up one of the Moultrie infrared's earlier in '07 . I have had Bushnell, regular Moultries and StealthCam's. I can honestly say I will have at least 2 more of the Moultrie infrared's for next year. It was put out in Sept and taken down in Dec and I NEVER once changed the batteries, it was still reading over 50%. I swapped out the memory card every week or two and it did take a lot of pictures...day and night. Longevity still remains to be seen, but I am sold so far
