I have ran these for 2 years or so and love them.  Cheap and easy to operate,  pic quality is good enough.  And if there stolen im not out too much money

Yes thank you, I've been needing an inexpensive cam to catch my trespasser who keeps tearing down my fence.  :tup:

I own the 5mp version...if you think they work hang another cam or 2 with it and see what your cams miss...you may be under the impression that they work cause you have pics when you check them...My tascos miss a ton of animals!! I watched a bear one year sit 5 ft in front of my cam to take 1 pic in 30 min!! I have watched deer from the stand walk in front of them eat in front of them to only check the cam and have 1 or 2 pics! When it gets cold it gets worse!

$35 Tasco cam at Big 5

I've had three of these and they work well in certain situations, and if they're set up correctly. The flash doesn't have much range, and either does the sensor, so you need to place them close to the trail, or the bait, if you're using any. There is no multi shot burst option, and the delay is not adjustable. It takes a picture about every 15 seconds. I had the best luck setting them up with bait, and no more than about 25 feet away.

 I agree, i bought two of these and it seems as though I missed a few pictures of some bucks that showed up a few yards away on the bait pile. I was trying to use this cam to back track them.
