In your case I think I would go with a SG550 or check out the Buchnell trophy cam. Check out the review on Chassingame.

For $200.00 you can't beat the SG550 or the Bushnell trophy cam!!!

Man, the guys above have nailed it.... the Reconyx is amazing! I can't say enough about the one we use! Day or Night, in ANY temp... it never misses a beat and WILL produce more images than you even thought possible for a trail cam! Even the night images are excellent.... here is a standard quality night IR pic. I also love the labeling and branding features. It even comes with some pretty good software.

I have two Reconyx's myself an they are awesome. But if I was not using them it would be either Leaf River cameras or SG550 or Moultries.
