I have been doing some research on trail cameras and like anything they all get mixed reviews. I would like some opinions on a camera that would be affordable ($150-$250), good pics, good battery life and can stand up to the cold Wisconsin winters.

The biggest complaints I have been coming across is battery life and Flashes not working. Does someone make a good quality camera with these features....Any input would be great.... Thanks

i have had no complaint with my cuddes. and right now www.fifieldseednfeed.com our having a good sale on them. they say the new moultries are supposed to have 150 day battery life

buckeater....do you live near fifield???

I would say the Moultrie I-40 would fit your request. 3 to 4 month battery life (mine has been out 1 month and taken 2,000 pictures and is at 80% battery), Good trigger time (1.5 seconds), I've seen pictures from folks with below zero readings on them. I like mine. They run $200 most places.

no i dont live near there. they sent me an email on the deals they were having.

i have the moultrie 6.1 infra red and love it batteries are lasting great good pix i paid 299 for it and was glad i went the couple extra $

get a moultrie I40, works very well to around -5, battery life is awesome in cold temps, cant beat it for $200.

I have the Moultrie IR-40 and it has been a great camera. Plus moultrie had an issue with whiteouts at first and to fix all you had to do is get the update off there site and put it in your camera. Most places you would have had to send there camera back and pay shipping cost. I loaded in the new updates and have not had one white out picture since then. Battery life is great and picture quality is good. Think I payed 219 for it. If I bought another camera would get the same one again.

i have the i40 its a great cam but today i picked up the wildview extreme2 and that was only 40 but its a flash cam and i also got the wildview extreme infared cam for 129 at dicks so i dunno how good they are but their cheap i bought them to put out on public land and out areas that ppl walk on so if they get stolen its not that big of a loss

Moultrie is hard to beat for the money. I've had mine 2 years and its works just fine for me.
