for $100 I USE THE MOULTRIE 4.0 W/ FLASH. Works great for me. I get great pics. Only things that one may be concerned with is the battery life in cold weather ( 40 deg or less) and mine has a hard time keeping the exact time stamp. Other than that... i love mine and i will buy again...

if you are worried about theft then I would have to second the moultrie d40 (it's the only time I would recommend that camera). you should always cable lock the camera to a tree though. the moultries are a bit tougher to lock then some other models. all mine are locked with cables 100% of the time.
also, there is a trailcam forum on these boards with a lot more info then in archery gear review.

RE: trail cam?
no cable will stop a thief from stealing camera,they will bust it to pieces if they cant get it.
the latest thing they are doing is buying RECHARGEABLE DREMEL TOOL at wal-mart and can cut the cable in 15 seconds and lock too.
many treestands are being stoled this way.
they even cut tree down to get it off.[:@]
