What is the best cam under 200 bucks??

Best of coarse is a relative term. For me picture quality, and trigger speed are the factors that I look for. Both hard to find in a camera under $200. My choice would be homebrew. One second trigger, and the best picture quality you can find. I am also fond of the AA battery use. C's and D's get real expensive.

You can get a Cuddeback Capture for $189

I would say the best cameras for under 200 would have to be the Bushnell trophy cam it has a 1.02 sec. trigger speed, 45 ft. flash range, wide detection zone, 45ft.detection range, 7-11 sec. recovery time and batteries last 4-6 months.
Another good one would be Scoutgaurd SG550 it has a 1.5 sec. trigger speed, 40ft. flash range, wide detection zone, 50 ft. detection range 6-10 sec. recovery time and batteries last 3-5 months.
Now also the Cudde capture IR is not bad, it has a .4 sec. trigger speed, 35 ft. flash range, it has the narrow detection zone (but most of the animals will be centered in the pics, but normally its only one pic. unless on a feeder or scrape). 50 ft. detection range, 30 sec. recovery time and batteries last around one month.
All these cameras can be found on the internet for under $200.

You're not going to be able to get a Cudde IR for under $200.
I wouldn't recommend that cam anyway. The IR pics are horrible.

Can get a capture for 169.99 and the Ir 199.99
personally I would not buy either one after using my reconyx rc60

on ebay the capture is $170 sorry plus $5 shipping
I'm not very computer friendly and don't know how to post links sorry

You won't get full manufacture warranty that way because the seller is most likely not a Cuddeback retailer.
I wouldn't recommend buying a gamecam off eBay unless you are after a used one.
