Often it's not the quality of pics, many have the quality down, it ends up being the setup, and more importantly the battery life, and of course the durability. I still have my Moultrie flash I got 5-6 years ago and it still takes great pics, motion sensor has lost a bit but being it is out 9 months of the year I'm impressed. I have other Moultries that also run great I just got a cudde flash which I know wont disappoint however it is harder to mount/secure to a tree
