Anyone having issues with Stealth Cam G30

[B G]

My Stealth Cam G30 has been giving me an issue with marking photos with the incorrect date and time when it takes pictures around midnight. I would get a pic that would show 00:00 01/01/12 then the next photo would have the correct time and date.
I didn't think anything about it until the G30 began eating the red label Duracell batteries like candy. I would put the batteries in, it would take 10 pictures and die. This happened 3 times. None of my WGI cameras have had an issue with these batteries so I doubt it is the batteries,
I just did the firmware update on it this week but haven't put it out again to test it. (Think I will set it up in the back yard for that and see how many photos of my dogs I can get.) Will the firmware update solve the issues or should I just trash the cam? Has anyone else had these issues with Stealth Cam?

I bought 2 stealth cams a few yrs ago and had problems from the start with both. Went to Cuddeback and have had no problem with them in the last 7yrs so I sold on the Cuddebacks

Okay, so I put it out with 70% battery, after 2 days it had taken 9 photos and was at 44 % battery. Not looking good for the stealth cam.
If I keep it I will have to get the external battery pack with solar panel. Problem is if that doesn't work to solve the problem I am out that extra expense.

Pulled it this morning when I got home. Total of 11 pics and the battery was dead after only 4 days! It's going in the trash and I won't waste my money on Stealth Cam again!

Why I advise to stay far away from Stealth Cam...nothing but issues and inferior to other similarly priced cams
