OK you will get a lot of responces and opinions on this one and they will be good places to start.I use a woodswatcher which is in the $275 range,it has all the basic features like assort time delays and a good camera(Samsung)bright flash and sturdy case.Its a little easier than any other cam I' ve seen or heard about on batteries(something to consider if you are leaving it out for extended periods,cam in cold climates,or just like to buy as few of new batteries as possible thru the season)It will take 800spd film(this is good for moving animals and getting more range out of your flash, less glowing eyes and more deer to see)The owner of the company has given me outstanding back-up and is fast.It has a sleep mode when film is used up(nice feature)it has a countdown battery strength indicator(not a little blinking indicator when battries are about to go but a 10-1 countdown so you know at about 2 to replace batteries)this is a great feature.It has an on-off switch and you can walk up to it and check battery strength and number of pics taken without opening the unit or distrubing area.Its small and in a lexan case so theres less chance of animals destroying it(bears,squirrels,coons)I am 100% happy with mine(3) and would reccomend them to anyone.I have used the buckshot(avoid! its a loser!)camtracker(nice but over priced and very sssslow on sevice and return).There is a full section on JHP that reviews all the factory game cams with write ups and specs.I post a lot of pics taken with the WW so you can see the quality(they are compressed pics so the actual pic quality is much better.Good Cam hunting and welcome to the world of catch and release hunting!
