I'd definitely pick up the Wildview. I bought one last year and put it out for 2 weeks prior to the season. The batteries were just starting to run out, so I replaced them. After 2 weeks, there was 380 pictures on my cam. I actually just went out and bought a 2nd one I liked it so much! I don't see the need to spend 3 or 4 times the amount on a cuddeback or those types of cameras. I don't need crystal clear quality, I just want to see what's out there!
