In a lot of ways you get what you pay for. The more you pay the better the camera.
But there are a few lower dollar ones that I have heard are fairly good. I think it was the moultrie digital that was suppose to be OK for under $100.00.
I have some of the homebrew ones that I really like, but they are around $300.00.
Good luck.

DO NOT buy a digital Stealth Cam. Myself, my buddy and some others I know wasted money on these. The only kind I would ever buy after experiencing the whole gambit of apoor product to even worse customer suppot, would be Cuddeback or a Sony.

I made my own for around $200 w/ a Sony digital camera. Works great and get alot of pictures per battery life. Also have a Non-Typical 35mm that works good but the picture developing thing sucks.

I also have a couple of the cheap Moultrie ones, 35mm and they take very nice pics. Next year I am goint to upgrade to a digital, Cuddeback most likely, but for the price, I am very happy with the Moultrie.

alright thnks. i just think that it would be so nice for me to have one. especially since im at school and a ways from home so when i go home everyweekend i can run out to my stand with my laptop and check to see what has been around. then see if its worth siting there. ill prob go with the moultry since its in my price range. what was wrong or what did u have problems with the stealth cam?
