Have to say, that for a cheaper camera it takes quality pictures, day and night. Battery life is pretty good, the cam has been in the field for about three months and battery life seems to be great . Only gives you a battery bar instead of a percentage. Really only thing I would change is the battery compartment does not have a tray, so you would have to take the cam down to change them out otherwise the batteries will fall to the ground once you open the latch.
