I have the Cuddeback and I really like it, but if I was buying another one I would try the Leaf River, They cost about the same and I think the LR will pick up a little farther with the flash. I'm not sure about battery life with the LR though, I know I can take over a 1000 pictures with my Cuddeback on one set of 4 D-cell batteries. Both are excellent units IMO, and you would be more than pleased with either one.

Sorry I ment a hand held cam ,not a trail cam.

I just got an Olympus Stylus 410 Digital camera. It is water proof, is 4.0 megapixel, has a 3x digital zoom and a 12x seamless zoom. It came with a 32 mega bit card and I purchased and additional 128 memory card. So far I really like it and it quite compact.

johnch,

I have a HP camera for personal up close photos, it's only a 2.5 meg. pix. At work I use two Olympus cameras, both are no longer made but they take excellent photos. I use the cameras to take photos of crops and farmland/timberland, rarely do I have to take long shots, so I can't tell you how they would be at that. One is 5 meg. pix. and the other is 2.5. Both have 3X lense, auto focus.

My suggestion would be a 5 meg. pix or more, these are better if you plan on making enlargements of your photos, 8x10 or larger, however, they normally will cost more.

A friend of mine swears by Nikons', both 35 SLR's and digital. I have a 35 SLR by Pentax (had it for over 20 yrs) and never a problem, so that said, I would imagine Pentax probably makes some good digitals.

Check out Wal-Marts web page for digitals, even if you don't buy from them at least you would have a bunch to look at and read about.
