Mine has never been great, batteries eat up so it is retired on the shelf

This thing lasted a whole season last year on one set of batteries and took about 7000 pics. I have a second one that did the same. Now one just quit after a year.

I heard they want like 75 bucks to fix a 79 dollar cam. I guess I get what I pay for.

Well they will not get that from me, That is why I stay w the Moultrie M-80 since I first started buying them.

I bought one of the first series Primos 46 before last hunting season and it has great battery life and takes good pictures. I havent had the first problem with it.

Based on that experience, I decided to buy two more that were refurbished. When they arrived I noticed that they looked a little different and I was able to determine that they were the second series 46's. I guess you truly get what you pay for because they have both been nothing but trouble. Currently they both give the "SD FULL" error whenever I try to use them. I have both of them out of the woods and am beginning the process of trying to figure out what I need to do to get them fixed or replaced. Based on everything I have been reading online lately, I dont have much faith that I will resolve the issues.

Lesson learned...my 7 year old Moultries are still going strong...stick with what works.

Well I hooked up a 12v wall plug to it tonight and it worked fine. Must be bad batteries. These batteries were brand new Duracells about 5 days ago. They should run several months. I guess its eating them.

I think they will replace them but will not respond to any questions or get in any rush. If I had to do it all over again I would not use the zen desk / ticket method and get them on the phone and make them communicate with me. My replacement 46 got put on the side of a tree this morning. I about half expect it to work right. Good luck
