Default RE: which would you choose?

there's also a wildview 3. I also like the wildview line. trigger time is really slow at 5 seconds (so, once the camera senses motion it takes 5 seconds to snap the picture).

right now stealth has a $20 rebate on the i450 which would drop the price down to $120. I would definitely get that cam! it's much better all around then the wildview line. But - if you are using strictly over a feeder, do not hesitate to pick up a wildview. I would stay away from the wildview .3 and wildview extreme II (wildview extreme 2 is different and better) because they have really weak flashes. stealth also has $10 rebate on the wildview line.

wildviews are also hard on batteries. you'll want to buy the $37 battery kit. I know this pushes you over your price range but the battery kit WILL save you money in the long run. I had a 2 gallon pail completely full of disposable batteries just from last fall. i don't even want to know what I spent on them before buying the big sla batteries.

before someone jumps in and recommends the moultrie d40 - let me tell you it's junk! the only way I would recommend that camera is if you are looking for the absolute cheapest camera to keep in the woods over the long haul. keep in mind that it doesn't perform very well (not nearly as well as moultrie says). but - it is very cheap to keep running.

anyway - good luck!!
