I was curious about what functions/features/qualities to look for in a solid trail camera. From what I have seen, it looks like the cuddebacks take the best pictures but I'm not so sure about that price tag (I'm trying to spend $150 or less, preferably less). Really I just want something that will take plenty of clear pictures of deer and turkeys without having too many misfires that would clog up the memory card. In the off-season I don't really head out to the fields I hunt because they're almost an hour away, but during any hunting season I'm out there every weekend so I would be able to clear the card more regularly as the season goes on. The specifications I'm most concerned about are...
1. Resolution (still and moving targets)
2. Memory card size.
3. Battery Life
4. Night vision vs flash
5. Reliable target identificaiton
So those are the things I know should be important. Are there any other things that I need to take into account before investing in a good trail camera? Are there any makes/models that have stood out to you all?

The answers I am going to give you are based on the fact that you said you wanted to spend $150.00. There are better cameras but in this price range, based on your criteria, I would suggest a Wildgame Innovations X6C, Primos 46, or a Moultrie I-40 if you can still find one. The most important aspects in a trailcam for me are sensing ability, something you don't hear alot about, picture quality, trigger speed and reliability. Good luck!

At Gander mountain's website you have the SPYPOINT FL-A infrared for about $100. Hard to beat that and the quality of the pics is really great. It's small and easy to use. I have had nothing but great results with mine.

Thanks for the help. I took a look at the Primos 46's pictures and for only $100 it looks like a solid camera. Primos seems to be a good company--at least with the turkey gear I have used. I also saw the Moultrie I-60 and the Spypoint and both of their night pics looked great. It's nice to know I'm not going to spend a bunch of money on a camera; I might have money left over to buy a lock box.

Primos cameras have a known clunk when they take pictures.
I own the WGI X6C and it is IMHO the best camera for $100 out there today...excellent battery life, great pictures, and some of the very best videos I have seen from any camera, reguardless of price.
1. 6 megapixel
2. 8 GB
3. About 7,000 pictures or 350+ 30 second videos
4. IR Flash (Red Blob)
5. HPWA Fresnal combined with 2 second trigger speed.

For $150.00 you can get 3 Tasco 3 megapixal trail cams.
At Wal-Mart.
And flash works better than, night vision here in NC
The other people I have talked to told me that the night vision is spooking the deer,
And the flash isn't bothering them.
