I've had a lot of success using Wild Game Innovations for a cheaper price. I also use Browning cams and they work great with a real high quality picture.

Yep, Browning and Wild Game Innovations both have worked pretty good for me. I have probably had the best luck with the Cuddeback Ambush IR. Not sure if they even still make it, but the last time I was at a store they had them for like $99.00. They always capture the animal and don't take any white out or black out pictures.
Primos is junk...steer clear!!! I have never boought any really expensive ones, so I cant say if they really are $200-$300 better or not...I set mine at my hunting cabin and the black bears tear them up. I have "bear boxes" for the Browning and Cuddeback, but they still can damage them sometimes.

My experience with wild game cameras is they have a 12 month warranty and last about 14 months, then they're junk. The models that open from the bottom seem to last better than the ones that open like a book.
I have a Moultrie that I really like and also a wild view that is lasting real well. Just my opinion. Jimmy

I haven't bought one in the last 3 or 4 years and I'm sure trail cameras are like any other electronic with newer and better technology coming out all the time but the best camera I have ever used is the bushnel trophy cam. Takes 8 AA batteries and last for months. The trigger is awesome. If anything walks or flys by its picture is taken. If the sensitivity is set to normal then you don't get any empty pics. I have 2 of them and they work great. Mine cost about $200 each. Bushnel came out with a cheaper model that looked similar but it wasn't near the same quality. Mine had the LED bulbs in a retangle and the other model LED bulbs were kind of in a circle around the camera lens. Hopes this helps.

Moultrie. Takes great pictures and a set of batteries will last a while. Also great customer service. Just make sure you register your camera.
