I have one. On a scale of 1-10, I will rate it a 5.5

They were very popular last year and "the cam to have". The feed store I buy from had them on sale, so I bought one. I put it up that weekend on a feeder, and got no pics in a week, other than me setting it. I took it back and she replaced it with another one. I told her if it didn't work, I wanted a refund.
Next week I had a lot of pictures. It has a very narrow and short flash range. It looks like someone holding a flashlight in the night pics. Also the trigger speed is slooowwww...
This camera does a good job strapped to a tree and facing a feeder at close range. If you are wanting to put it on a game trail with no feed, forget it

Here's a day and night pic for reference

There are better cams out there in the same price range, in my opinion

Thanks. I picked it up for $50 at Bass Pro Shops' Fall Hunting Classic. I read that the trigger speed is about 2 seconds, so if you are using it on a game trail you better get them coming or going down the trail. Don't even think about a broadside picture at close range on a moving deer.
