I have had many different models as well from the Walmart cheapies to $400+. I run multiple cameras and basically settled on the $150.00 +/- price range. I get 3, maybe 4 hunting seasons if lucky out of them. After each season, remove the batteries, wipe down, and store inside. Spypoint and Browning are good and Cuddeback very good but more expensive. I have had mixed results with Moultrie, Bushnell, and similar.
