I bought 5 last spring, they r good cameras, the manual says to have the cam at least 10 feet back from where u expect the deer to be, but I do 15 or 20 if I can, the flash is so strong that close animals get whited out big time, had issues with 2, one didn't take night pics, and the other has a line thru the lcd display, so its tough to read what im setting, talks now with Moultrie to get them fixed under warranty, im sure the newer ones, this years models prob have all the bugs worked out, I would buy more of them
