I have 2 Talon's & 1 extreme. They are simple to operate and as far a picture quality goes, the IR is better than most commercial IR's. I also have a Leaf River IR. My B-I-L has a Cuddeback IR. The trigger is about a 4 second trigger. You just have to aim it the right way to get the best photos. It is not a camera for trails, unless you aim it up or down the trail. In bright light or a close animal you will get white out.
