I personally like the Moultrie camera s. The DR 55 does a great job for the money.

I really like the Browning Range Ops for the money.

I went through a bunch of other brands before this one and really like the features and picture quality..

I picked up a Primos Truth 35 for $110 and am pretty happy with it. Doesnt take as good of pictures at my Moultrie but the trigger is twice as fast.

Your going to get a lot of answers unless you give a price range. For me, I'm a Bushnell guy personally.

There are cams that take photos every few seconds (videos) all day long (day cams) and motion activated cameras that take photos 24/7 via motion and now many that do both. A very cheap yet dependable day cam is the Primos DPS Truth Cam at $65 (Amazon). I am on my 3rd year using mine. The drawback is that beyond 50 yards it is difficult to see a lot of detail but if the rack is half-way big you will see it. Sometimes you will have a hard time seeing if it is a spike buck or not. Batteries (8 AAs) will last about a month in warmer weather, even though you start getting a low battery level after a week or two. Another recent drawback is that now I am having to use an online program to view my pics due to recent Windows updates - it is not a problem for me since I do this in my office anyway. And I am thinking this is because mine might be an older model. This DPS is a day-cam only . I tried an ultra-cheap Walmart special for photos once - it proved to be worth its price and I took it back.

For a fairly cheap camera that takes both photos and videos, the Primos Truth Cam Ultra 35 mentioned by OhioNovice would be a good choice if you did not have a ton to spend. It would probably be my choice for my next camera.

Bushnell the newer ones with 8.0 or 10 megapixels

I had nothing but problems with spypoints. Had 2 and had to send both back. One broke and it is out of warrenty so I replaced it with a Moultrie M-100. Right now I have a spypoint tiny, Moultrie and a wild game innovations out. The wild game is slow on its trigger speed but takes decent pics. It also has been beat up by bears about a dozen times and moose twice. Moultrie is good so far but its only been out for a few months.
