No Bob its the old model, most of my pictures are about the same quality as these, very seldom do I get a blank picture, The only problem I have is when the fog moves in, it makes them a little fuzzy. Is your flash reflector real nice and shiny? Last year I took so many pictures that mine was starting to turn black from the flash, I guess from the flash burning it.I sent it in and they fixed it.

One thng I would like to see on the Cuddebacks would be the way the pictures are stored on the card, I wish you could set it to where the file names would keep going in a numerical order instead of starting over at 1 when you put a new card in, I save all mine to a file on my computer and also on a disc, if it has more than one pictue file with the same number from 2 cardsI either have to change the file number or delete one before I can save it, also in having an on going file number it would make keeping count of your pictures thur out the year a little easier.

strut--- Iused to have the same problemI found a pretty good solution. Highlight all the pics on the card and right click on the first one and replace the number with a number in parenthases you need to use parenthases or else the first one will be 1 witht he second 1 (1)...1 (2) and so forth. You can name them starting with whatever number then copy them into where all you other pictures are and repeat the process with all the pics in the file....sorry for not beign very clear but it does work, if your haveing trouble let me know and I'll try to explain it a little better.
