After checking my cams last Sat, most had dead batts, I suppose from the cold blast we had, but they had been changed just after ML season opened. Anyway, I also had one die on me. This cam was purchased in July of 2013, and is still under the factory 2yr warranty, so I'm sending it off for repair/replacement. I've only had one of several I now have go out before this, and Bushnell sent me a new replacement. All in all, and especially for the price, I highly recommend them for average tcam adventures. ;) These "cheap" cams are the cats meow when you're worried about thieves roaming around and stealing them. $50 isn't near as bad as $150 or more, and, if I can get this kind of performance from the rest of them, I'll call it good. Heck, I figured if I only got a year from them I was ahead of the game, and now going on 2 yrs, I'm happy. :)
