Looking to buy a trail camera in the price range of $100.00,and was woundering if anyone could tell me witch one would be the best one to buy in that price range? Thanks for your input.

Well several here can tell you what they believe is the best. I doubt few have used every brand, and model available in that price range. I've used older Moultrie's which I didn't care for. But not sure of newer ones out now. Also used Stealth, and Wildview. Stealth is decent. Wildviews only seem to work flawless for me 1st couple yrs, then I begin having issues with them. I only use them from June to Dec. My brother bought me a Tasco for christmas, which I learned is basically a Bushnell. I put it out 1/11, and its still going on 4 d batteries. This is in days of below 0 temps. Any camera I've owned to date only last about 30-40 days on batteries in warmer temps. So that I'm impressed with. The pics on this Tasco are also good. I obviously can't tell you its longevity. But I am considering picking up another at Wally World for $79.

In that price-range, the only camera I have any experience with is the Stealthcam I-590. You can usually pick those up for around $100.00. It is a white-flash camera and I think for this price-range the pictures are excellent. The only knock is the trigger time which can be up to 3-4 seconds. But unless you are monitoring a trail, you can overcome slow trigger speeds with a few little tricks. The Moultrie D-40 is also in this range and seems to be a pretty solid unit but I've always thought the pics from them are a little grainy. Below are some examples of pictures from the I-590.

Also do your homework on the brands available at that price range to see what fits your application. This is a good site for reviews http://www.chasingame.com
