    Moultrie just added their new lineup to their website and all of them are under $200.

    I vote Primos 46 ultra hd. One of the best ranges/flash range on the market and comes in at 120-130

    Covert, hands down. MPE5, MP6, MP8, MP8 Black, Illuminator and Red40 all fit within your budget. Check out the Trail Camera forum and I'm sure you wont have any problem finding other members pictures that use Covert or need any convincing upon viewing their pictures as they speak for themselves.

    Covert! haven't bought one yet but looking into them because I haven't heard many horror stories yet. I've had 4 Moultries and all of them were crap (M-80, M-100, M-80BLX) quit working after 2 years or just didn't work out of the box.

    Covert Red 40 is a great camera in your price range. I have a couple MP6's, an outlook, an Illuminator, a Black 60 and a Red 40. In addition to the Coverts, I also have 3 Moultrie M80's, 2 Bushnell Trophy Cams and a couple others. I really like to older M80's but I have had 2 of them quite working on me. The Red 40 is probably the favorite camera I've had so far.

    There's a ton of great cams out there to be had for $200 and under. If it were me, I'd be getting another Stealth Cam G42NG.

    I use mainly moultres but that personal preference, the one thing I don't like about them is you can hear the shutter go off on some models..

    Another vote for Covert. I have used Moultrie, Cuddeback and Bushnell, Coverts have performed best for me. I like the MP6 and the Red40 the best. MP8 Black and Illuminator are on my "Things To Get List"

    MP6

    I'm a Browning Trail Cameras guy. I just don't think there is a better camera for the value. Take a look at this video shot with a Recon Force...
