I have a handful of these. The oldest ones are three years and still going. The most common issue I have is the IR filter sticking and causing the daylight photos to have a red tint. I have only had a few quit on me or become very unreliable. All in all I haven't had any worse luck with them than most any other camera. I have owned Moultrie, Primos, Wildgame Innovations, Cuddeback, Tasco, Reconyx, Digitaleye, Wildview, and Bushnell.... Out of all of those I can't really pick one that worked far superior to any other (considering cost). I currently seem to be purchasing more of the Wildgame Innovations and Moultrie's than any other cam.
