what trailcam?

It all depends on your budget really. I think that for an inexpensive one you cant go wrong with the Moultrie trail cameras. If you looking to invest in a really nice one i would go with an infared Cuddeback or Leaf River.

I agree, it does depend on the money. For a high end camera, you should check out the new Predator Trail Camera's. I was able to look at them at the ATA show. I was impressed; a lot good features. They're supposed to be in most major hunting supply catalogs, this year.

It depends on what you are using it for. If you are looking for good deer, and all you care about is the size of the horns, then look for cheaper models. If you are going to enter the pictures in contests, pay attention to the megapixels. Some of them also add features, like moon phases and temperatures. It is going to depend on how detailed you want them to be. Stealth Cam, Moultrie, and Wild View make some great cameras that are fairly inexpensive. Cuddeback is definately the Cadillac of cameras in my opinion, but you ultimately have to decide. Good Luck, and share the photos with us!

Here's some photos I had of the product from the SHOT Show.

As for my personal recommendation on a camera you can buy today, I would say you can't go wrong with a Digital CamTrakker. I just got mine a few weeks ago and I've been playing with it at home and really, really like it. Easy to use, quick trigger speed, and takes great photos. And I can take the 6.0 MP Sony camera out and use it for other things when I don't have my trail cam in the woods.
I bought a Cuddeback Excite 2.0 MP camera last year and from day 1 it's never worked. In fact, it never even made it into the field last fall. It's a $200 paperweight on my desk at home.
I also have an el-cheapo Moultrie 1.3 that sucks down batteries like they're going out of style. For the next-to-nothing price I can't complain too much. It took a lot more photos last year than my Cuddeback did.....
