Mine is the sniper pro model. My battery life was good. Pics were great.
Yeah some are 700 bucks but most of them are around the 200 to 300 mark. Im on my own private property so it doesnt matter about theft thank goodness.
Pray yours doesnt stuff up...Its great fun trying to contact these people. All over you when you want to buy something but when it dies its a different story
I bought mine from Cabelas but they had a 90 day warranty. Cabelas were very quick in their response.
