I've had mine out for a week. Unfortunately there were no deer pictures. But I don't think that is the camera's fault. My other two cameras in the area had nothing either. It did take a couple pictures of me while I was walking past. The camera has around a 3 second delay. I used a cheap lantern battery from walmart and it was around 60% after 1 week. The quality of the pictures looked good. I now have two of the moultri rechargeable batteries that I am going to try. Hopefully I can get the deer to cooperate now.
