im looking for a new trail camera for my property. i bought a cuddeback capture flash about 2 years ago and still love that. a bushnell IR last year the night pictures arent to great so i just leave it on video mode which is real nice and has great battery life.
im wanting a IR camera with good battery and good pictures and looking to spend at the most $200 any suggestions would be great.

SpyPoint or Primos for their battery life and they are built well for the money. I have had no issues with either one. http://chasingame.com/

Bushnell.
I have used Moultrie and Primos both to failures. Bushnell is far and beyond the easiest to use, most features, and most reliable.

So far I've had good luck out of 3 Primos Blackouts. They've been out for about a month and have taken about 2K pics each and still have a lot of battery left.

Another vote for primos. Got a couple of 3 year old ones that are still doing good, and are nice and easy to use.
Had a moultrie before that and like the Primos better, but obviously we are talking about an old model on the moultrie, new ones are likely greatly improved!

IMHO, I do not think there is one camera better than the others. As you can see you are getting several different responses from everyone. With the new technology out there most brands high end cameras a probably pretty good.

Agree to a point. I hear really good things about both the Primos and the Moultrie cams now but still hear of the occassional problem. I havent heard of one problem with the Bushnell Trophy cam since the first year they came out with it. That is why I give the nod to the Bushnell. Plus I have about 28 of them, lol. I do have a handful of the Primos and they have worked well also so far. The battery life is definitely shorter in them though.

With the new technology out there most brands high end cameras a probably pretty good. I disagree, some people haven't tried other brands and some have only had theirs a few months. It is hard to get a fair assessment, but my money is with those running multiple brands hard last couple years.
