I love the s40.... s600 gets all the accolades because of the flash,
but you cannot beat the s40 ...the s series is second to none in my opinion. I have seen to many crisp clear pics. from them.
I have some Nikon's that I was going to hack for trail cams,I am afraid i may be disappointed ,I like to use the s40 for a barometer.BUT if you ever have to change lens,...GOOD LUCK
The night pics. will be way out of focus,unless you get lucky and find a good marriage.
I have heard that they calibrate the lens assembly to the particular cam at the factory,when you change boards or lens it is a crap shoot.But it is one I am willing to take because of the versatility and ease of building a s40.(NOT COUNTING THE HACK).
You can pick them up on E-bay for little of nothing because they have a white screen,The fix is so easy it is ridiculous,I just bought one that the Lens ASSY was messed up,had a junker ,put the lens in it ...like new,well I have not took any night time pics.But so far it is like a brand new cam.It is amazing what a little alcohol will do for a camera,They just get dirty and the ribbons need cleaned...good as new.Unlike the other cams. a s40 comes in components that can be replaced,Front board Rear board Battery comp.Lens ASSy.the list goes on.
You tear something up get in the junk drawer and drag out a power bar with the flash and power buttons.
Did not mean to ramble so much but I love the s40,and Flipper you have a nice trail cam that will serve you well for years to come
Just for the heck of it ...Do you have the 4 wire Yeti Hack?
Supposed to make it a half second faster.But you have to use the YETI Board...HMMMMM.
