Fatten ' em up!  :) Hmm. 7 months to Thanksgiving.

Looking good. I could look up the specs, but what's the video format native to the camera? Resolution?

They come out as an AVI but none of my video programs like the CODEC. I had to run them through movie maker and resave as an AVI in order to use the other programs.
Resolution in Video mode is 640X480
In still it's 5 meg

That's just too cool.

In video mode, are there settings for how long you record, then how long to take a break, then record again?  What keeps the thing from filling up the memory card if some critter camps out on your bait station for 30 minutes?

It is the most configurable trail cam I've ever had. The video length can be set between 1 and 60 seconds and the lapse time between videos can be set between 1 second and 60 minutes.

The videos are small enough that my 1 gig card with the camera set for 60 seconds filming and 1 second down, have not filled up. Several of the sites have bears all night. The stills can be set at 3 or 5 megs. They are a little bgger and will fill it eventually...( I check these at least once a week)

Here's the raw footage of the turkeys. There's a world of difference.

The flash stills are nice though. The IR will take some getting used to.
Here's a night  \still (Strobe) with a Stealth I450
