iv used a lot of different cameras and now use one of the cheapest ones on the market not the WV but iv had one of those also.. these cheap ones I use now last just as long as the others iv used.. how long has the camera been out? has moisture got into it? corrosion showing? lenses look clean?

Nav, I'm not sure if your asking me those questions or someone else. My camera is mounted 4 1/2 feet off the ground and is only about 12' feet from the feeder as the lane is only 20' wide. It doesn't get much light especially at night. Yes I have pictures I could share but I use my phone not a computer and can't post them from my phone.
The camera has been out since February and doesn't seem to have gotten moisture in it, can't see any corrosion.
Like I said before it's personal preference. The OP said he bought one of the more expensive WG cameras, to me those aren't worth the money when I can get the Browning for close to the same money

Okay so you were on round 2 before you ever got started, trust me your current one is nothing but a ticking time bomb. I'm not saying that they are trash, I've even considered getting a cheap one to watch down a 4 wheeler trail to see what animals use it, but I don't think the camera is worth the money. If your real worried about it getting stolen then sure, which by all accounts I worry about mine in E Texas, but I'll stick with the Browning strike force with a steel box bolted to the tree.
It's personal preference really. Trust me I didn't exactly like the price tag on the Browning but after reading a lot of reviews on different cameras I bought the Browning after last deer season. Yes, on round 2. Hopefully you're picking up my sarcasm when I talk about being on month three. I know they suck.. before this year I had never used one. Saw that one on sale at academy for $50 and decided it's time I play like the big boys. Having had it all season, makes me wonder why I never got one sooner.. they're pretty cool! Down the road I'll definitely have to upgrade.

Like I said though, takes pretty good pics, battery life sucks, but I have no basis for comparison

Down the road I'll definitely have to upgrade. I have a few WG cameras that are at least three years old, some that are four years. I am actually amazed at the stories that guys have of them not lasting very long. I must be the exception to the rule. The batteries on the older ones only last about 1 1/2 months, the newer ones about 2-3 months. I went cheap several years ago when I bought a $200 camera that died in a year. I figured even if the WG camera pooped out in a year, I could buy a new one every year for the next four years and come out okay. I am way ahead.

Very familiar pic.. Have a lot like that one. Funny... sometimes I get a perfect still of corn falling from the feeder but a deer walking is fuzzy. Probly the IR pics have slower exposure. Regardless.. Not bad for $50
