    Hi everyone, Im looking to buy a new trail camera. In the past I've had Steath Cams, Primos and Cuddeback but one way or another they always seem to let me down for numerous reasons. I know that there are TONS of companies out there so I wanted some opinions before I go out tomorrow to pick up a new camera. I've been looking into Wild Game Innovations cameras, they seem to work well for a low price. Also Im looking to spend UNDER $200. Tell me what you think everybody!

    I just bought the Moultrie M80 and it seems to be working pretty well so far. Nice pictures and video.

    i'd have to say the spypoint ir-5(x2 is a decent choice(so far), easy to use, nice sensor range(and wider than average), good pics and vids...I also have WGI w6x(x3) longer range(narrower that spypt), good day pics -night pics ok, smaller,....similiar price(90-125), both fairly easy to use....also heard alot of good things about the newer bushnell trophy cams(basic and hd editions...skip the bone collector series-just paying for name and camo on cheaper version of cam)...I won't buy moultrie and I don't like my primos tc-35ir...also I did like my covert ca 3.0 but it got bit by a bear and sensor doesn't seem as it should or used to be but I haven't really put it to test in a high traffic area yet -had nice pics too.
