Leaf River digital camera question

[Kenny]

I am looking into getting a digital trailcam.Has anybody used one of these? Can you remove the memory card or do you have to plug in a reader to download the pics on the camera? Or are these pieces of junk.

Some guys like them. I'm hesitant to leave any camera in the woods, even with a chain and padlock. At least not around these parts. :D
The cam does take removeable CF (compact flash) cards which you can then use a USB Lexar card reader to load the images onto your HD. Get a spare card and just swap them out when you check on the camera.

This should help you out.

That's for the DC-1. Not sure the status of the DC-2.

I'm moving this thread over to the electronics forum.
