1 - Just about all of the information for the camera is displayed on the LCD as you set it up and change settings. When I have stuck my head in front of the camera it takes my picture and tells me it has taken a picture. I'm not sure what it says if it doesn't take a picture but you pretty much have to stick your face right down in front of it to see the display so of course it will take your picture. The manual states that the LCD will clear when the motion sensor activates so it may just stay blank between pictures. Mine is 50 miles away in the woods so I can't check it. I think you have to take the cover off and use the buttons to check the number of pictures taken but I'm not sure. Others on here use this camera and may be able to help more.

2 - From the manual - You can use a portable TV or Camcorder to view images. You will need: 1)portable TV with built in video-in connector, 2) a patch cord to attach the TV to the Cuddeback's TV connector. The patch cord must have an RCA jack on one end to attach to Cuddeback, and the opposite cable end must have a connector compatible with the portable TV you select.

There are no cables provided with the camera.

3 - Manual states that flash card capacity will be approximately 20 images per megabyte of card capacity.
