User Interface
The camera is very simple to operate, you use up, down, and enter keys to make selections. And you see what you select on the screen. Normally at the top of the screen the camera will show many pictures have been taken and the time, but with no SD card inserted when the above image was taken, nothing was shown.
You can set it to take pictures day and night, or just day or night. You can select the quality of the pictures, the higher quality, the fewer pictures that can be stored on the SD card. The tradeoff is better quality pictures allow you to pick out details of individual animals and just better viewing quality. However, if you were just planning on leaving your camera out for weeks at a time without checking it, say in the spring and summer at a food plot, then for just scouting and deer census, lower quality/more volume of pictures might be more useful.
On top of that, you can adjust camera light exposure, how sensitive the motion sensor is, and how often it takes a pic, even set it for (soundless) video. The customization of the camera is one of the big selling points for me.
Performance
The performance is very good in my opinion. It is a 14 MP camera with less than a 1/2 second trigger speed with an illumination range of 75 feet, and an invisible flash (specs from WGI website). I've already shown some pictures taken by this camera on the blog, but here's a few more just to show.
The video is bright (and sped up!), yes. I don't know whether it's the camera's fault or my own. Facing the camera angling down toward the ground might have caused the light to reflect back towards the camera, making it really bright. I'll have to experiment more to find out. However, having the capability of video is always a nice feature.
