Ok I have no scientific proof for the "proof nerds" out there but I just started really putting cameras out this past summer and fall and my cameras took over a 1000 pics in limited use. I know every buck on my place and when and where the does travel and when and where the bucks travel. I know what bucks stay east of the creek and what bucks stay west of the creek. I know what bucks hit what scrapes and what time and I know which direction they come from in order to do so. I did all of this with $49 (pos in your opinion) cameras. I think people get duped into thinking that the higher the price the better it is. I am more then happy with my cheapo cameras.
