Let me say that I like my product just fine. I think it is a product that offers a good value. Like other game cameras, it has its own set of issues. It takes good daylight images and the night images are okay. I currently own 3 game cameras, two of which are I40s and if I need more, I won't hesitate to get another I40.
There are some shortcomings to the camera, however. Some of these shortcomings are things common to game cameras and something I didn't realize when I first started using game cameras (this information for those buying their first game cam).
You can shoot video, but the color on my I40 cameras is poor in video mode.
Night video segments are apparently limited to just 5 seconds at a time.
As an adult male, changing out SD cards (how I get my images, putting in a blank and taking the card with images home to download) is tough because the slot in which you need to reach with your fingers is narrow. This is impossible with gloves.
Be careful in closing the camera. The O rings that keep moisture out are a bit delicate. It isn't a problem if you are careful, but you need to be careful.
There is a delay between motion sensing and when the camera takes a picture or starts a video (not just an I40 issue). This isn't a problem if the camera is set up to watch a feeder. It is a problem if you are using the camera to watch for animals passing by down a trail. Animals can trip the sensor and walk past the camera before the image is taken. So the camera needs to be pointed down the trail and not across it in order to be more successful.
At night, the images tend to be blurry. This is a product of the IR illumination and slower shutter speed (not just an I40 issue). You don't have the same problem with white light flash cameras, but they can scare animals.
You can end up with a LOT of blank images simply due to the impact of wind (not just an I40 issue). If you put your camera on a tree that sways in the wind, the relative movement of the ground or other foliage relative to the swating camera will cause it to sense motion and take a picture. There is motion, but no animals.
Some good points...
Not expensive given the features you received, picture quality, etc.
The multi-shot mode makes for some interesting 'catches'
With a 1 or 2 gig SD card, you can get hundreds and hundreds of images on the highest resolution setting without filling the card.
The batteries do quite well unless you are shoot dozens of video clips a day (mine were set at 30 seconds) during a highly windy day or put the camera on a swaying tree and taking hundreds of pics a day.
The controls are pretty easy to use.
The aiming laser is nice.
As noted, if I need another one, I will be happy to buy an I40 again.

In the spring of 2008 I purchased 4 of your I40 cameras and the Moultrie picture viewer for these cameras. The cost was almost $1000 dollars after shipping.
I used the cameras for one summer season. During their use the cameras were housed in weather resistant, bear proof housings. At the end of the summer I stored them with the batteries out and in a box in my closet each wrapped in bubble rap. These cameras only saw 15 weeks of field use.
This year I took the cameras out to prepare for my summer scouting season.
With the first camera the buttons completely quit in the first 2 weeks of use. I had to take the batteries out and let the camera sit over night. After re-installing the batteries the buttons would usually work. However, I had to perform this procedure every time the camera was powered down. Now this camera has another glitch. When an SD card is installed the camera will only take one picture before the lcd screen reads "memory full". I have used several "NEW" SD cards and the results are the same.
The second camera's infrared flash has completely quit working so night time photos are no longer possible.
The third camera will not hold its settings. After every trigger activation the camera changes its date and time. The time stamps on the pictures range from year 1964 to 2067 and the month and day constantly change.
The fourth camera's infrared flash works periodically, you never know if you'll get pictures or just black screen. This camera will also continuously trigger at times. Sometimes once the trigger is tripped the camera will take a non stop string of pictures only quitting when the memory card is full. Then when you try to view the pictures on you computer all the files are listed as corrupted and will not open.
As for the picture viewer, this item is practically worthless. During field use I can view about 25 pictures before having to change the batteries. I went through 9 sets of batteries in one day and never did check all four cameras (ran out of batteries)
I contacted Moultrie Customer Service who, although polite, had an "it's your problem now" attitude. The response was that my 1 year warrantees had expired. My feeling is that if one camera had gone bad so be it, I must have purchased a faulty product. But all four of these cameras do not work. Moultrie Customer Service department told my I could send them in for repair at my cost, including shipping and they would see if they could diagnose and fix them. Customer service said it would probably cost between $100-$150 dollars to repair them if they could be repaired at all. They also said that if repairs could not be made I would just be out that money because there was nothing they could do. Well, I'm going to pay over a hundred dollars each to repair cameras that were only used for 15 weeks then became inoperable.
If you break down purchase cost vs. amount of time used it cost almost about $70 a week to run those cameras and now I'm stuck with a product that does not work.
Moultrie seems to be distributing a faulty product at a very high price. Then when that product breaks they refuse to stand behind it. Their reputation is defiantly not all it cracked up to be. With quality like this I'm surprised they even offer a warranty at all.

Camera comes with 2 levels of software installed but has to be updated just to use....we already had taken pictures as there was nothing in the instructions that told you do download first. the website wasn't easy to use and I could never get thru to tech support on the phone....BUT, once I got the software downloaded/upgraded, it's great....nice pictures, you can edit/delete while viewing the slide show....
