These pics are close, the trail those deer are on is less than 10 yds away. I also had some pics from further, but the flash could not pic up the deer, you could just barely see their outline. I think your best bet is to get close, w/i 5yds of the trail you want. But, I'm still just playing with this thing, I might could change some setting and really reach out there. I like the fact that I can take a 10 second video if I want with this thing. Also, those pictures are on standard quality, there is a setting for high quality.

Mine cost $500!!!! Thats high, but I will never have film costs and I can view my pics almost immediately. I think they now cost about $400. I've been wanting a camera for about 2 yrs now, I finally bit the bullet when they went digital.

This is a daytime pic. Nothing there.
