I bought 20 of the 5mp compact units last summer. Not real pleased thus far. 6 of the 20 would not work directly out of the box. Very poor programing system for someone other than a techno-nerd. I had to have my 16 year old nephew take care of it..........The sd cards required a pair of needle nose pliers to remove without having the batteries fall out while it was mounted.The off/on swith is a real POS and has broken on one unit. The cheap plastic hinge door that gives you access to batteries and card etc. is also a POS and has broken on 2 units. I am sending a total of 9 units back to Bresser today. The Bresser People are GREAT, they have assured me they will replace the units, with upgrades if I want to pay the difference so I can't say enough good about them. Lastly, units that have worked, have worked well. I am still taking photos on the original 4 AA batteries on all the other units and they take great photos. I honest believe that Bresser just got a bad batch and hopefully will get through them.I'd give them a try and hope for the best, They ARE well priced.
