I have both a Cuddeback,, and the Moultries. I love the Cuddeback, it is my first digital, and works flawlessly, and takes great pictures, and I can put it on a trail and still catch deer passing with no trouble, The Moultrie cams are good too, especially for the money, but are alittle slower triggering, I have to hang the Moultries somewhere the deer stop for a little bit, like feeding or a scrape etc. It also takes good pics, I just thnk the Cuddeback has a few more features and also has the anti theft stuff on it, If you can get it Id say the Cuddeback is the way to go, If money is tight, dont be afraid of the Moultrie. I have never used a Leaf River myself but have a buddy with one, and he complains of having problems with the flash, and says it is much slower than mine.
