I just bought a 3.0mp Wildview IR for 35 plus shipping on ebay, going to put it up on saturday.

I"m putting this pair out on Saturday, Uway VH200HD. Have it set for HD video mode 20 second capture so it will be interesting to see what it captures in a few weeks from now.

Bushnell Trophy 8mp cams.. if you look around, you can find them for under $100.

I have Bushnell, Spypoint and a home brew. A buddy and I are splitting those cheap Simmons at CT, after the rebate they will be $70, if they don't work (and they probably will not......:-)), Bushnell will replace them as they have a 2 year warranty.

Best for all around pictures, my Sony P41 homebrew white flash, but it is hard on batteries. For all the commercial cams, I like Spypoint best. Canadian made, warranty is in Canada and you find them for $100 plus shipping. I have IR-5 and 2 IR-7 and they all take great picts.

Two places to check out;
Chasingame.com and http://www.trailcampro.com/. Both have great reviews on cams and lots of great info.

My uncle and I bought a couple Wildview cams from CT. On sale they were $99 for the two. Batteries last more than two months, and if set up right I get a good amount of photos, and good enough quality to see what anything is.

thanks everyone for your info.

How much did you pay for all that?

I would go uway all the way battery life makes a huge difference, they have affordable models as well as expensive models

All that cost me around $530.00, that's two cameras that take 8 megapixel pictures or HD video, two protective boxes, and two python locks.

They do sell less expensive models but I'm playing around with doing some short HD videos so I wanted good cameras to capture it.

great thanks
