LOL, cause you just added it to the poll 2 days ago. You can't set up a poll and change the choices every day, your results will be no where near accurate. You added choices, removed choices, etc. Heck, you even changed the title to this thread... maybe you should go into politics [8D]
just kidding

I voted other. I personally would not spend 200 on a trail camera. You just don't need to. I'm not looking to make a living off the pictures it takes. I just want to know what is on my place and when it's there. I have purchased several $49 cameras and have had little to no problems with them. I just recently bought a few of the wildgame innovations 1.3 meg cameras and they work great and take great pics. $49 a pop at good ole Wally Mart. For $200 I can buy 4 of my cameras and cover a lot more ground.
Also on another note. I have a few of the Wildview cameras and have had very little to no issues with them. They take good pics and last as long on a set of rechargeable batteries and just about anything else.
I see just as many deer with cheap cameras as any of you guys do. I'm not hatin on you for buyin those cameras. I just have to make my dollars spread out a little more.

RE: In your guys opnion....
Ok I have no scientific proof for the "proof nerds" out there but I just started really putting cameras out this past summer and fall and my cameras took over a 1000 pics in limited use. I know every buck on my place and when and where the does travel and when and where the bucks travel. I know what bucks stay east of the creek and what bucks stay west of the creek. I know what bucks hit what scrapes and what time and I know which direction they come from in order to do so. I did all of this with $49 (pos in your opinion) cameras. I think people get duped into thinking that the higher the price the better it is. I am more then happy with my cheapo cameras.

I got on Ebay and bought some commercial grade rechargeable C batteries that are Sanyos. I bought some of the Energizers from Walmart and they suck. I can get about 14 days out of a set of rechargable batteries with the cameras taking usually between 125-175 pics depending on the location of the camera.

While I agree that you don't have to spend $200 (or more) to get pictures of deer, etc. Having the scoutguard has made getting photos more fun. I have really enjoyed (and so do my kids and friends) the video feature on it, and plan on using it more often. While the IR light isn't quite as bright in photo mode as a flash (and the pictures are black and white) I don't believe that this buck would have stayed where he did for over 10 minutes if a flash had been going.
Sorry, couldn't get video to post.....
