I Have Two Multree's 4.0mp And The 6.0mp And Love Them.the 4.0 Is A Flash Type And Around 100.00 And The 6.0 Is The Infared(no Flash) Is Around 300.00 Both Take Excellent Pictures.and At Good Prices.battery Life Is Very Good.i Have Taken Thousands Of Pictures With Both And Not One Problem.the Only Thing With The Infared Is You Could Get A White Out Picture But Could Be The Sun?

The new Cuddebacks are out and the cheapest one will run you right at $200.....I have the Cuddeback Excite and I am VERY VERY impressed....holds the batteries for a very long time, fast trigger speed, and easy set up....

I finally got one. It's a Wildview Xtreme Series for $90 at the local sports store. Walmart had diddly. I guess it's a cheap beginners type camera. It had all the features that you mentioned in the Bowhunting and deer genetics post (ETD) but after I got it all ready and setup I read the posts and I think that I over did it with the "burst" thing cuz I put it at 6 pics per PIR triggering. I think that I'll need some batteries soon. Jeez I hope it was setup right. We'll find out cuz I want to check it Sunday evening. Any advice/tips guys and gal?

hate to say this and i hope it works good for you but the wild view has terrible reviews. really the worst of the bunch. i don't know first hand because i didn't get one based on those reviews. maybe they were wrong and it'll work great for you, hope so. keep us informed. the reviews were on some site i stumbled across and thats what they were doing reviewing different cameras. I think the cuddieback was tops and then the moultrie mainly because of price.

Yeah I figured with that price it was probably low quality but I was impatient and wanted something on the fly so I took the only thing that was there. Eventually I'll definitely get a Cuddeback or Moultrie cuz you all have given proof that they are the way to go.

You can go to Cabela's and or Basspro's websites and they have reviews....

Just got back a little while ago checking the camera. I got a bunch of crappy pics. Furry blurs, pitch black stuff, and nothing at all. But I found some big tracks elsewhere and setup. But I do need to get a better camera. It's a must.
