CouesWhitetail Report post Posted July 6, 2010 I am very excited to try this one out! No more remote for programming the cam. And it has a color viewer and has more LEDs for brighter night shots. Takes up to an 8GB SD card (the older version took 2GB) and can take up to 8 Megapixel photos. With all the extra features it will cost more than the older version, but it's worth it! NICE!! Here are the specs for the HR8.0: - Extra small size 5 1/2 H x 3 1/2 W x 2 1/4 D - 28 High intensity IR LED's with a 40' range -2.1" Color LCD for viewing pictures/video - PIR Motion Sensor with adjustable sensitivity - Extra long battery Averaging 4000+ images - Operates on 8 AA batteries (not included) - Easy programming menu - Accepts SD memory cards up to 8gb - Records still pictures or video - 1 sec to 60 min programmable delay - 1 sec to 60 sec programmable video length - Fast 1.3 second trigger speed - 3MP, 5MP or 8mp picture size (adjustable) - Operates from -4F to 140F - Threaded insert for tripod mounting - 1 year limited warranty - Mossy Oak Infinity Camo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZP&Y Report post Posted July 6, 2010 Amanda, I read reviews on this camera back in April and it says it takes up to 16gb card. It also states that on the covert website. Have they advised just up to 8gb card? 16 gb is a lot of memory and I know you could leave a camera out for a long time with that much memory. 8 MP pictures should be very nice ! Just wanted to see if you had any other info... Thanks, Doug AzP&Y Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted July 6, 2010 Yes, they dialed it back to 8 GB. Technically, nothing has changed and it will still take a 16 GB card, but the company said that sometimes when using those high GB cards that the camera became a little less reliable in writing to the card. So they prefer to only tell people to use up to 8 GB cards. You can try to use a 16 GB card and likely it will work ok, but the company didn't want any instability issues and so the manufacturer said to only advertise it as up to 8 GB.

AZP&Y Report post Posted July 6, 2010 Ok - thanks for the reply. *8gb should be plenty... I know with the wildviews they really go haywire when you use a higher GB card than they suggest. Can't wait to see some of the 8 megapixel photos of coues bucks! AzP&Y Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
