Best Trail Cam for the money under $100

[gunrinwa]

I've read a ton of reviews, good bad and indifferent. I even read something on TC s in Field and Stream. But, for us living in the northwest what do you guys like? I might use mainly for around the house/property surveillance and a little for hunting. How long can you Soak them without replacing the SSD card?

Here is what I would get....pretty darn close to $100 and you will save more on batteries than any other camera that I know of in your price range. 8 double AA's will last a long darn time.

I use the Primos 35 Truthcam Ultra http://www.amazon.com/Primos-Truth-Ultra-Trail-Camera/dp/B007RAJEYY

I like it a lot and have got some great videos and pictures on it. I know there are much better ones on the market (I really drool over the one that you can check wirelessly )  but I also cant justify leaving something in the woods to possibly get stolen or destroyed that's worth that much money. $100 is right at my max of risk VS reward.

Did you know that Bushnell makes all Primos game cams.  I use the Primos Truthcam 35.  There are 2 one is the Ultra like Mongo Hunter said and than the Truthcam 35 which is the one I have. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Primos-TruthCam-Trail-Camera/727915.uts?productVariantId=1621771&WT.tsrc=CSE&WT.mc_id=GoogleProductAds&WT.z_mc_id1=03006756&rid=40&channel=GoogleBaseUSA&mr:trackingCode=CA1A5DCC-958E-DF11-A0C8-002219318F67&mr:referralID=NA&mr:adType=pla&mr:ad=30640530791&mr:keyword=&mr:match=&mr:filter=57964871951&gclid=CPH53obanroCFc57QgodC0UAaw

I recently got a Wildgame Innovations W6E camera to replace my old 3MP camera.  The old camera used C-size batteries, and battery life was lousy.  It took good pictures, though.  The new camera uses AA batteries, and battery life is much better.  The camera is really sensitive to motion.  After two weeks, I got 600 pictures of the wind moving the brush.  The size of the SD Card, and whether or not you use the video setting will determine the length of time the card will last.  The camera was $70, by the way...

I just got a Natchez Shooters Supplies  November flyer, and they have a Primos Truth Cam Ultimate Blackout 35 camera on sale for $89.99.  This would be good for surveillance use, as the LED red glow on the IR photos cannot be seen.  Another thing I like about my new camera is that after a few minutes the red light doesn't come on when it takes a picture.

Go to www.trailcampro.com and look at their independent reviews of each camera (except Cuddeback who requested that their cameras be excluded from the tests)

I have bought a dozen cameras from trailcampro over the years.  They have their own 2 year warranty!  The guy there told me he thinks the Browning Range Ops is currently the best
camera for the money at $120.  Read the review.  I bought one to go with my fleet of Bushnell trophy cams and Reconyx Hyperfire.
