RE: digital trail camera
I own a 1.3mp stealth and I would recommend you steer clear from the digital stealth line. My can only takes day pics when the temps drop below 30 dergees. it takes night picts but the flash dosen't cycle and I end up with a cf card full of black pictures. I've yet to hear a good thing about the 3.0mp stealth. The biggest complaint is battery consumption.
If I were in the market again I would seriously consider building a home brew. TinPA2 is a wealth of information on home brews. I think that's the route to go if you want more bang for you buck.
