I just got one two weeks ago and I'm still learning to use it.

It does not have view screen. You can connect it to a TV or computer or you can put the SD card in a computer.

It does not have regular flash but does have IR flash. So far, I've been happy with it, though I've only got one shot of a deer so far! I think it's the locations I've put it though more than the camera. It's caught people on it every time.
