Here are just three of the more than 2000 pics I've gotten over the past 15 months. I've got the 1.3 and the 3.0 and yes, the trigger is fast and the distance is good. I had also gotten another camera to play with, the Molutrie 100, and I set both up in the front yard to catch cars going by. Each time, the Molutrie would only capture "street", but the Cuddeback caught the cars going by, and was almost an instant....Two of these pics are of deer jumping....
