most camera's take decent pictures
its the wake up and trigger times that suck on cheaper cam's
and well battery life can be a issue
I been using a tasco 50 buck wally world cam for 4 yrs now, (no one seems to want to steal it either LOL)
and it takes great pic's, but will miss about 85 % of things that walks past it, either by not taking a pic at all, or missing the critter due to how slow it wakes up and triggers a pic

over bait a feder, its a great cam, color day and night, and about 5,000+ pic's off a set of batteries
the mega pix, kinda determines pic's quality, and the IR or flash quality then at nite!
a reason some cam's are cheaper than others, it small thngs, but add up
