What is your favorite game camera? I am looking to get another one that is better than the one I have. Any preferences?

I only own 1, a Cuddieback Capture. 4 D batteried lasted me about 2 months in the coldest part of my winter. Shutter time is very fast based on the acrobatic sqirrel shots I've got. $200 everywhere I've seen it.
I am certain that other cameras are also excellent....but this is the only one I've used. If I were to buy another, I might just get another one of these or the upgrade version with infared.
Downfalls: No video option. No infared flash.

Moultrie I60. Great battery life with recommended batteries. Great pics. Not sure about the shutter speed. Could be a little faster for my taste. Overall I's by another.

I have the stealth but I would not buy another. It eats 8 D size batteries in a hurry and the delay between the image detection and the actual picture is long enough for a deer to pass in a hurry and never be captured. I get a lot o pictures with nothing showing what set it off. I am sure it is birds flying by or perhaps fast moving animals passing. The pictures are not the greatest either. It works but that is about all I can say for it. I would not sell it because I don't feel that the buyer could be proud of their purchase. I would give it away if someone came by wanting it. Ozark.

I have a "Wildview Xtreme 2". It works OK but suffers some of the problems that Ozark complains about. I use rechargeable batteries and have not noticed a particularly bad consumption of them. My nighttime pictures are often the best ones I get and that is for close critters as it does not have IR. It has a big problem with glare in the day time, especially near dawn and dusk which is when I really want it to work the most. If I want pictures near dawn I have to make sure it is not pointing to the east.
I bought this one for around $100. If I were to buy another, I would spend a bit more and get one of the better cameras more like those of Wilms & Mkjstep, but this one does work and I enjoy the pictures from it.
