I posted about this awhile ago. The consensus I received was “buy cheap and buy lots”

I run upwards of 15 cameras year round as do several of my partners. Ourea and his gang run even more than that. We would all agree that is very poor advice. You really have no idea just how much you'll miss compared to a quality camera.Originally Posted by Bustercluck
Personally, I'd stick with the Browning (pro models) or Bushnells. Amazing trigger speed and quality playback. I run a couple Reconyx Hyperfire as well and they are the cream of the crop but at that price they just aren't economical.

Check out some of the ones Amazon has to offer from China. The brands are named funny (ie: CAM-PARK), but I have bought several for under $60 and they're better then the big brands for under $200. Easier on batteries with good features, without sacrificing image quality. Also if a bear attacks it (been there), you won't feel so bad. Also left mine all year under a tree canopy on the coast and it lived...

I've had a few over the years, bushnell, browning, stealthcam, and the cheap chinese ones.
My favourites, and the ones that lasted the longest were the Bushnells. Finally one of them bit the bullet this year after an elk flipped it upside down and water got in, but the other is still going strong. The browning was ok, and is still taking video during the day, but no longer takes video at night it seems, disappointed as I've only had it about four years.
I find the cheap stealthcams that I've had the most difficult to set up. Not that they're difficult just not as straight forward.
The chinese cams take good quality video, but I find the sensors not as sensitive as the others. They're ok if you're set up pretty close to your trigger point, but if you're far off I don't think they capture all of the wildlife. Also, although I've only left them out for one winter so far, I find they don't seem to do as well as the others in extreme cold. The other issue I have with them is that the ones I have use Microsd cards, and the card slot is difficult to acccess. Makes changing sd cards annoying, but I guess this is a minor gripe.
I too am in the market for a couple new cams. I'll probably end up buying a few cheap amazon cams as I'm not as worried about them getting stolen, or the multipacks that go on sale from Canadian tire from time to time.

I agree that the video is great on the cheaper cameras but the trigger speed is poor. I personally will continue to by cheap ones…especially when I had 5 stolen this year.
