i'd go with a wildview 3.0 with an external battery. you'll be well under $200 and it's a good little camera. only drawback is the bad trigger speed. it's ok over a feeder, lick, or food plot. not good for trail use but no digi's in that price range are. I have over 3000 pictures this year alone from my wildview.

by the way, save yourself some trouble and do not get a new cuddeback. seriously, they are trouble! Don't let the advertising fool you. Not only are they not worth the ridiculous price tag, they aren't worth 1/3 of what they charge!!!!! Go with the Wildview!

Oh - what they are saying about megapixels is the truth! there are many many examples of cameras w/ lower megapixels taking better pictures. I'd recommend looking on the board for sample pictures. You can probably find some of each major brand. Stealth wd-2 is going to have the WORST picture. Cudde's as much as I hate them do have a really nice picture.

Which ever way you go - GOOD LUCK! It'sa really fun hobby. You never know what is going to be on the camera.
