well I will go on record and say ALL the cam's I have used have had brain farts over the yrs
meaning they work great then for un known reason stop then work again
I right now have 3 camera's that are acting up, some weeks working super then Nothing then good a again, one is a cuddleback, one is a moltrie, and one is a bushnell, and all are acting up at the same time
new batteries new Sd cards, turning them off for a while reinstalling new batteries
no matter, they work when they want
I do think some times weather as something to do with it, being damp, wet cold ot dry, ??? the older the camera the more they seem to go goofy on me
way I see it is there electronic's, and weather is hard on that stuff, all the more so considering how these things are made, with being water tight and such

things I have learned, some camera's really DON"T like certian SD cards, mine really don't like the SD HC cards, and am told many camera's don't like these either, and some brand name cards are the same way, my camera's don't like certian brand name cards at all
and I try very hard not to mix up cards from one camera to another, that seems to screw with my camera's if i do that, and actually wonder if they are designed to cause problems by using SD cards from other brand name camera's
or just a way to get you to have to buy new camera's

seems like so many electronic's there days get infected with crap, wonder if thats a way to get more sales??
