If you'rehunting in an area where cameras can be easily stolen, there are some nice cameras out there for under $200. I just bought a Bushnell 2.1 Trail Sentry($150). I also have a Cuddeback 3.0.($399). The Cuddeback takes great pictures, they're well centered and it has a fast trigger speed.I'm also getting about 2 mos. and 300pics out of a set of batteries.The Cuddy has been a great camera.... BUT... I'd rather have 2 good cameras instead of one great camera so the following played into my decision on a 2nd camera....

Fast trigger speed is very important if you want to set it up over a travel route - not real important over a feeder. Centered pictures usually mean your camera has a narrower detection area. A narrow detection area coupled with a quick trigger gives you centered pictures. For me, I could care less if my pics are centered - I'd rather have a wide detection zone, fast trigger speed resulting in more pictures.I've read that the bushnell takes more pictures thanthe cuddy, when placed on the same tree, in addition it takes quality pics and can be set at 30 second intervals. Theshortest delay onmy cuddy isone minute, which is too long IMO.

I will follow up on a reviewof the Bushnell. I just put it on the tree today.

I used www.chasingame.com to help me make my decision...great website.

So yes, the Cuddeback is a really good camera. If my Bushnell for $150 turns out to to be a really good camera, then the Cuddy's not worth the money unless you're entering your photos in a contest. Time will tell.
