buy a cuddeback. i've had mine for three years, and it's been hanging in the woods pretty much the whole time. i've never had any type of problem with it. hot, cold, and i mean really cold, well below zero air temp, sun, rain, whatever. it's without a doubt the best. you won't get a bunch of pictures of nothing, the batteries last forever, as in months at a time, and you will be able to tell what you're looking at when you check your pictures. the photo quality is head and shoulders above the rest of the cameras out there.
