Experiences with the Snapshot Mini 5.0 IR

We used the photo case for several weeks now on our property, especially for nocturnal wildlife observation and thus fairly good results (cats, raccoons). For smaller and more distant objects, the sensor sensitivity is not sufficient. The variety of shooting options for individual photos is remarkable. Instead of the cumbersome belt attachment we use thanks to the existing tripod mount a tripod or clamp Tripod with Ball Head. The 8 AA 1.5V batteries (personalize it satisfy even 6 pieces!) We have replaced with no apparent disadvantages by corresponding rechargeable NiMH batteries 1.2V. While the rather small monitor saves power, but requires a reasonable viewing a computer or a TV with an SD slot. Even a simple compact camera with SD Memory Card is suitable for good, but automatically the original file format of photos is changed and they are no longer legible then the snapshot Mini 5.0.
A major deficiency is that the camera must be opened on and off, and then, despite an alleged trip delay of 15-30 seconds is always hectic and phantom images are inevitable. Therefore, the point deduction.
