The Talon Extreme is built in a sturdy case with electronics to match. As previously stated this model produces some of the best Infrared pictures we have seen. This unit represents a good example of why you can not rely on megapixel ratings. Rated at only 1.3mp, the Talon outperforms competitors with 3x the resolution. The Talon extreme also offers some of the best electronics we have seen. The digital voltage meter displays battery capacity in tenths of a volt allowing it to function much like a gas guage. The Talon Extreme draws less than 1 miliamp in standby mode which accounts for it's superior battery life. Recon claims this unit is capable of lasting an entire hunting season on one set of batteries and our tests would confirm at least a 120 day life expectancy. The main drawback to the Talon ex is it's detection capability. Our tests indicated a trigger time in the mid 4 second range and sensing that was slightly below similarly priced models. Overall, the Talon extreme is a solid camera and with carefull placement the impact of slow trigger time can be minimized.
