solberg,

I would say in that price range, your best bet would be a Moultrie I-40 or a Scoutguard. Both are in the $200.00 range. Hope this helps.

Blessings.....Pastorjim

I would highly recommend the HCO Scoutguard SG550, I currently own 2 of them and I couldnt be happier. Very small, quick trigger, and awesome pics & even videos.

I would advise aggainst the Moultrie I40 if its a new 2008 model. I owned one about a month ago and it was very slow to trigger. They are better for monitoring feeders and not setting up on a trail. The 2008's have gone backwards in terms of trigger speed with a very slow 2.5-3sec trigger, if you can get ahold of a 2007 it is quicker but even then IMO the Scoutguards are more superiour.

Look Joe up of Beebusyoutdoors, he makes it around on here and sells the scoutguards

Two SG's for me as well ! I love 'em I have last yrs I-40 & I-60 & they both work great, but still, I'd trade 'em both for more SG's. The video capability on the SG's is what makes these cams shine.
