Well the only cams i have that take video are my 2 scoutguards. And for 200.00 there great cams. havent had any trouble with em and i bought em from Joe at Bee Busy Outdoors. The only downside to video is if you have it set to take longer vids is that it takes up more card space as my scoutguards are a 2 gig max cam. It also depends on how long you go between checking your cam and how much activity you have in the area you have it set up in. these are all some things to think about.
