Since Trail Cameras and accessories are my business I will reply to this thread. Though their are many choices out there there are only a few quality units available. If you want picture quality and battery performance you should build your own see here Build your own Camera There is also a contest to win a top of the line digital Trail camera...........

A CCD style camera is the way to go, especially in cold weather. As for your Cuddebacks,Stealths and Leaf River. They use Cmoss cams and suffer greatly in cold weather and are costly on batteries.

Just my 2 cents
