If you use them just for a scouting tool, as someone else mentioned the wisest choice is to get two mediocre cameras. If it is extremely important for you to have professional clarity on your pictures then you can spend the extra and get a high end camera. Otherwise, its much more wise and efficient to buy two mediocre cameras, (which still take far good enough quality pictures) so you can watch two areas at once. I bought the cheap moultrie and I'm glad I did. If I had bought a camera for around $300 I would have felt totally ripped. Glad I spent 100 and still have the same tool as the others for 300.. You make the choice.. its an easy one..
