The Reconyx Pc 800 was a selection also. Along with energizer rechargeable batteries.
The testing has begun!
I'm with GameChaser on this one, I have had very good luck with Bushnell and the DLC Covert cameras. I'm the type that tries to find the best quality camera for the lowest cost. I've had very good luck with the Bushnells IR's that use AA's in the past, and I bought a DLC Covert Reveal (white flash and also uses AA's) 5MP, loved it, so a few months later bought the DLC Covert Deuce with white flash and IR in one camera option, also love it. Now looking to get the new DLC Covert Reveal 8.0 MP. With tax and shipping never paid over $150 for the DLC Coverts.
I've used Moultrie for years with great success, and like the white flash rather than the IR (personal preference to color photos) but the only downfall was using D-Cell batteries. They now have the small IR cameras that use AA's and I have friends that say they work great.
I've also used Tasco, WildGame, Stealth, LeafRiver, CuddeBack, and some others (would not recomend any of these), but my favorite is the DLC Covert Deuce. 8 AA batties lasted months (taking white flash photos, set to go off every minute)
