all depends I think on what model you have or plan to get
I have had some that ran 24-7/365 for 3+ yrs problem free, and had actually rather fast trigger speeds and decent pic's to boot
I have also had some that sucked from day one?
I tend to pick them up at clearance sales at wally world , where I buy them for like 25 bucks each, so, I roll the dice at that price
one thing I will also say on a positive side of things, well sort of LOL
if on all cam's that dies in a few months or had issue's I emailed the company, and they just sent me NEW free camera, Never even replied to my emails(I included my address in email LOL)
to date they have sent me 4 free cam's Maybe 5
BUT they are always OLD stock, and well, half of them SUCKED poor lowest entry model cam's on half, others were decent cam's still working today!
but I do give them credit for JUST replacing the cam with a new one, NO questions asked
I sort of think they give you a new cam , with what ever they have handy, and they seem to have a LOT of old stock laying about, last yr they sent me a brand new cam that was from I think 2009 or so?? brand new sealed plastic molded packing?
so, again, like all CHEAP cam's
there hit and miss , like pic of the liter, some work great, some don't?
