The d40 is okay. I don't like the quality of the pictures that it produces though and they don't have great battery life and they have a "sleep mode" that takes an extra 2 seconds for them to wake up before they trigger if it has been a while since they took their last picture (I think it is after 10 minutes they go into sleep mode).

I don't think the d40 is a useable "trail" camera either, but it does okay as a bait cameraalthoughitdoesn't take as good of pictures or have as reliable of a sensor as the Stealth I-590 that is about $30 cheaper. There seem to be more problems with the d40's as well.

You might check out www.chasingame.com for more information in their discussionboards or ask all these questions in the trail camera forum here. Chasingame.com has a forum specific to Moultrie cameras that you might check out as well - http://www.chasingame.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=9

Good luck. You'll need it with a d40!
