Default Digital for cold weather?

Hey all thinking about buying a couple digital game cameras for next year.

Anybody have suggestions for colder weather (below freezing)?
Also what about battery life/options?
Input on any digital is welcomed??

My experience is only with 35mm ones. My camtrakkers had no problems functioning but I am not interested in developing rolls of film.

Thanks

No replies!! In my research I have found the newer generation that use smaller batteries are problematic in our climate below (-15 c). I am wondering about the wildview 2 & 3 because they can be hooked upto a 12v SLA in lieu of the c batteries. Any comments on this camera? I know its cheap but I have read some favorable reviews. It seems the LR, Cudde, Camtrakker, etc all have issues so wondering if more is indeed better!!

Thanks

Skeeter7MM I think everyone would probably like to know the answer to your questions. I've found this forum isn't all that great for informational purposes as the others on Hunting net can be. Everyone always says go to www.chasingame.com

Are yours the new generation retrieverman? The reason I ask is I know a few fellas who were very disappointed in the new digital ranger from camtrakker. 2 have been constants on the cammy awards and previous gens they have nothing but good things to say about camtrakker. How cold? They say 0 F is the limit.

LOL good enough. I have checked into chasinggame and others already. Thanks for the reply though. I was wondering if I stink or something

my moultrie works fine in our temps but that isnt near as cold as yours, the battery life is excellent in cold weather, and i have found out that my gamespy 200 3.1mp trigger time is improved in colder weather but the coldest it has gotten so far is just in the single digits F

I have one with the 4.1 Sony camera and new digital Ranger 6.0. I do like the older model better, but the digital Ranger is very nice too. My coldest temps so far is 19 degrees.

Thanks retrieverman for the additional info, appreciate it!!! The 4.1 (older one)is the model for which I have heard nothing but good things about(including cold weather). I'll keep an eye on ebay.
