trailtimer's photohunter ($250) is also very good on batteries. It's a simple model, very easy to use (i think most of them out there are easy to use).

I think I goofed on mine by wrapping the film too far into the camera when I put it in and it got snagged up. Since then it doesn't always take a picture when there's an event. Also, the ads say it's waterproof, that is a crock. I drain water out of mine just about every time I move it. Some of the connections are starting to get rusty.

Overall I'm very happy with it though. I've taken hundreds of pictures. I still can't believe the deer that pass through the property I hunt. I had no idea!!!

I've only had it out of the woods for one afternoon in a year and 4 months!!! Also, it takes pics all year round where I've heard some models have problems in really cold weather. I actually got more pictures in December and January then any other month.

I really wish it had a time AND date stamp. With the photohunter you can only have time or date. It'd be a nice feature.
