RE: Trail Cams
Digital is the way to go. I had a cuddeback but once if failed their customer service sucks but you can read that write up on my Cuddeback Customer Service post http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1722488.
I would say to spend you money on a few different cheaper ones and go from there. I have over $485 stuck into my cuddeback and for that I have gotten 2 years worth of pictures. That does not include batteries but does include shipping it back to them twice and the $35 fee to fix it that they have not done yet after 2 tries. If I could do it over I would buy 4 $100 digital camers and go from there. JMO.

Well, as soon as mine is set up I'll let everyone know how good or badit is. I just bought a4.0 mgp Leafriver and a Leafriver Viewer. Cabellas has them on sale for $249.99 and the Viewerfor $149.99.
I called Leafriver to ask which Compact Flash Card they recommand and they told me to use a Lexar 256MB card. Will be setting it up next week!

RE: Trail Cams
Digital is the way to go if you want to scout different areas quickly. I have a 35mm for spots that I know have deer regularly.
The Wildview Extreme II is around 90 bucks and does a pretty good job. You can read about a lot of reviews of cameras at www.chasinggame.com
Here a few from my Wildview II.

RE: Trail Cams
I own 3 moultries and they work well. I considered getting something more higher end, but to spend 3-400.00 on say a Cuddy Back, when I can get 3 or 4 Moultries ( 99.00 + tax ) at wal-mart, made it a no brainer. One day I will buy something better, but when I do It will be a camera that uses infra-red ( no flash at night ) . And digital is absolutely the only way to go. And as in the case with moultrie cams, you can use a memory card with it to have MUCH more memory. I use 1 gig SD cards, and on high resolution it can store 1877 pics.
Good luck
