The I40 is the first trail camera I have owned, so I can't compare it to other models. But I can give you my opinion.

It is simple to set-up, which was good for me on my maiden voyage of trail cams.

The batteries. I am amazed at how long they last. I've had mine for 6 1/2 months and I replaced them once, just beacuse I felt like it. I honestly think it could still be taking pics right now with the original batteries. They just SIP the power out of them.

Maintence....there really isn't anything that I know of that is need to maintain the cam.

Trigger speed.....ehhh.....here is where people will start arguing over the I40s. When I first got mine, the trigger speed was excellent. Above average I would say. But I think, for whatever reason, it has gotten slower over time. Right nowI can walk strait up to my camera from 50 yards out, and it wont take a picture of me until I am staring into the lense. This is something that I am not happy with at all.

One con that I can think of is this. The case is not very strong and when you strap it to a tree, the body can flex, causing the two doors (front and side) to not line up perfectly. Also the SD card slot is kinda in an inconveniat spot. Not that that is a huge deal though.

Also, people have been having issue with the infared sensor (me included). I don't get hardly color photos. The infared stays on pretty much all the time, usless you are in a really bright area.

I know it sounds like I am bashing this cam, but actuallyI am pretty satisfied with it. If I had it to do all over, I would buy it again.

Here are some pics
