The quality of the photos taken by this camera are abysmal. Outdoors, indoors, bright light, low light, it didn't matter. The only remotely acceptable images captured by this camera came after mounting the body to a tripod and shooting a nearby stationary object under controlled lighting. Hardly the advertised intended use.

I returned the camera to the manufacturer, assuming I'd got a lemon. Without a word (or a refund of the shipping charges), Bushnell sent me a brand new replacement camera that won't turn on, even with brand-new batteries. I now get to call them yet again and perhaps this time I won't have to cough up the money to have it replaced.

I hope that perhaps I just got unlucky twice and that I can get one that is as good as it sounds. If not though, if this is truly the quality of this camera, then I would seriously reconsider ever purchasing any Bushnell product again.

I've bought several of these for my business to be used in the field. More than half of them have come back with different issues; camera does not focus, camera will not turn on, etc. My employees who use these complain about them constantly. I have switched to another brand and have had no complaints with the new cameras.

I am Very disappointed with the quality of the pictures. This is the second one I try. Time to get my money back. Lucky for me I bought it at LL Bean. 100% satisfaction or your money back.
Bushnell needs to stick to binoculars and scopes.

It's a good little camera, definitely rugged, and the best feature is that it's water-resistant (although not waterproof). Suitable for your boat or hunting blind -- you won't worry about hurting it like you would your "good" camera" or mobile phone. Uses AA batteries, which is nice for changing when you're out in the field. I'd HIGHLY recommend rechargeable AA batteries for it, though. I haven't had any problems with the photo quality. I think people's major complaint with it in the past has been because of the price. Don't pay over $100 for it -- certainly not the $250 retail asking price -- just for the Bushnell name.
