I've got two 1.3 MP models, and they work awesome. Every deer I have in the camera is centered great, no half deers. I had one half coyote because he was running fast, but I've had many deer dead center in the middle when they were moving quick. 5 second trigger speed? that's painfully slow. I'd say 1 sec or under sounds good. From my experience with trail cameras, i'd say the cuddeback is the best digital on the market.
