Sort of like optics, you just about get what you pay for. We bought a bunch of those cheap Stealth and Moultrie cameras and they aren't that great. You get a few good pictures and a bunch of bad ones.

RE: Christmas Money (please read )
My friend has one on the cheap moultrie's and he got it at walmart for 100 bucks, im just not sure that when its sold a walmart it has the moultrie name on it. Anyways like timbercruiser said he too gets about half blank/bad pics but the other half a always real nice and clear. The bad halfI would say is about 90% empty so maybe the wind or bird trips it and then 10% is butt shots of deer from it being to slow. But I am in your situation to and cannot spend alot of money on a cam and I don't care if i have alot of blank pics cause that is what the delete key is for. So when I get the money I plan on buying a Moultrie's.

I don't think the good digitals are priced that low. If they were I would have 2 and toss my 2 35mm Stealth cameras. I tried one for $88, but the flash range was only 15 feet. The deer on my lease are very nocturnal, so all I got were pix of eyes. The camers was setup 2 feet from a mineral licks, but it would trigger before they got very close.
If you find one for under $200, I'd be interested.
I may just bite the bullet and buy the Moultrie night vision camera. It uses IR flash that is not visible. It will not spook the deer al all, no sound , no (visible) flash. It's about $275.

Save your money & get a Cuddeback. I have 2 Leaf Rivers. Their triggers are slow. If you want an IR cam get a Recon Talon. I have 2 of them. There is a website www.chasingame.com I think that can answer any of your questions.
