I have one of them " cheap junky cams" that you are talking about. I have had it for a few years now. It spent 3 days completly under water in a flood, laying face up, and taking pictures of the junk floating by 3' above it on the surface. I took it home, opened it all up, "dumped" all of the water out of the battery area. Put new batteries in it, and now 2 years later, it is still taking great pictures. I wonder how many of those expencive cameras would keep working after all this.

Ya, it would be nice to have one of those higher end cameras, but I would rather have 5 of my $100 cameras so I could set them all up at different places to pattern my deer.
