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.
