They do have a slow trigger, around 8 seconds, but if you set them near a mineral lick or food source where the animals are going to stop than you'll get some great images. Other than a slower trigger they are excellent cams. You won't find a cam any easier to set up and operate and the battery life is THE best of ANY digital cam I've ever tried. I've had 3 LR DC-2's and 2 LR DC-6SS models and they have all worked great in ANY weather.
