Need recommendations for a trail/game camera

[944turbo]

Any good online sources for trail/game cameras? I'm looking for the best value (reasonable cost/good quality/long battery life/quality pictures/ease of use/etc.) camera under $200. This is merely for recreational use to see what's wandering around the back yard.

I bought a Bushnell Trophy last fall. I put it up at Thanksgiving with 8 fresh AA batteries. It is still in the field, has taken thousands of photos, and is still running on the original set of batteries. Photos in daylight are fantastic, night shots are okay to identify the critters but the flash is a bit weak as game cameras go. I'd buy another of these. I also picked up a steel case that is made specifically for this camera that allows you to cable lock it to a tree with a Master Python lock so no one walks off with your camera, at least not easily. Here's a link to the model I have.

My dad has a few inexpensive wildgame trail cams. They seem to do the job for him, however I was just reading up on a company called Day 6 Outdoors. The have a cool approach to trail cameras. Their system takes time lapse photos so you can actually see where game is coming from / going to. May be my next purchase.

Prices seem to be @ $199 at Gander MTN, Bass Pro, Cabela's etc...

Here is the link & good luck:
