I have 8 going constantly. It's tough to say which is the best cause it seems as though I get a good one from most brands but they all have failed me. For me the most reliable has been Bushnell then maybe moultrie then stealth cam. I have one browning that has been awesome but have had two the died after one use and they ate my battery's in process. I've never used cuddeback. I own one Spypoint cam and it's been going strong for 3years now. I should buy another cause it's been good. I've been having problems with woodpeckers pecking the motion sensor film. The less you move the cams the better they do. I've heard great things about building a box for them to insulate them as well.

I seen a Wildgame camera in a Cuddeback box (someone pulled a fast one at the ole Academy) for a mere $200. Ha All bullcrap aside. I've got a Wildgame still in use that has 60,000 - 80,000 worth of picture production so far. It's only issue was fogging up during rain events, but great picture quality and decent detection range. The trigger speed is on the slow side, but that makes little difference to me since it's pointed at a feeder 90% of the time.

In my opinion the only place to buy a trail camera is, http://www.trailcampro.com/. I have bought 6 from them over the years and they truly stand behind them. One stopped taking more than two photos at a time after 2 months and I called them. They sent me a higher priced model and a prepaid box to send the old one back in. I have 4 Browings and have been very happy with the photos both night and day. the price from Trailcampro right now is $205. Here is a photo from the Browning of a buck jumping over a fence.

$205 for a new Browning is kinda steep huh? I guess the extended warranty would be worth though.
I purchased a new Bushnell Aggressor (low-glow/ not the black out) 14MP camera on ebay for $110 shipped a few weeks ago. Super fast trigger speed and it has an unmatched detection range.

I agree with MR T on trailcampro, even if just for testing and reviews. plus the one year extra warranty and free sd card, it bit more cost, so I just figure it 's worth the added warranty time.
I like the Browning Strike Force, fast trigger and good photos. Avoid the black ops models, unless you're putting it watching a shop door or something real close.

Two Browning Strike Force HDs here. Totally impressed with both picture quality and battery life. I also have a Moultire M-880i that's right up there with the Brownings.

They are all built to be disposable. By one that has the best ratings that fits your budget.

I love the TCs because I get to see what pics reveal as well as pics others share. I also love hunting West and South Texas, but boy do I miss the good ol' days of scouting the ETX, Ark and LA woods, ridges, sloughs, field edges for deer sign, the October mornings slipping through the woods chasing cat squirrels all the while looking for that perfect spot to put a 2x4 in a tree or tote in a lean up wooden ladder stand off the beaten paths to get that big buck. TCs have made scouting easier and yes allow us to see what your area has for #s and potential which helps confirm the need to be patient for mature deer for your area. But I often think it has made many of us hunters more lazy and lacks in our scouting skills. Living in the city just doesn't afford me the time so I put out as many TCs as possible and add a couple each year. My next will be trying out the Browning HD.

^^^ agree ... a lot of the old style hunting/scouting has been removed with newer technology.

Bushnell and Cudde for me. I will never buy another Moutrie camera, too many fails for me.

we run over 20 cameras - it is ford and chevy - some folks like a brand and others do not. We put ours to a test - 100 degrees plus weather and taking thousands of pics between checking
Moultrie overall has been good for us. Cost effective and perform well overall. Just tried a new Browning so we will see.
We invested much in Primos blackouts and are very dissappointed - also no service.
Will never use again: Cuddeback (totally horrible customer service - they do not care) Stealth - way to difficult to use
Many of these companies have gone to zero repairs after warranty - so if it craps out you get to buy a new one
We spend $$$ on batteries because they do not last on any of these cameras in 110 degree heat
Overall my money is on Moultries

Overall my money is on Moultries I run somewhere between 10-17 cameras a year. I still have moultries and have had good luck with them. As was said before, all cameras have issues, but I am still a fan of them. I had the same luck with the Primos blackouts and won't buy the new ones. I still by the old style, large box 35's and 40's and can get them cheap. Bought 7 of them at $45/piece a few years ago and they all still work great except one. I bought 4 Brownings this year, can't remember which one though. They were 10mp and the night pictures are terrible compared to my other cameras. Day pictures are good though. Cameras work good for now, but they haven't been out long.

They had several thousand ship that had a software problem. It is no charge and they get them back quick.
