I have an older bushnell trophy cam that I've used for years. Been bullet proof. Except now it usually takes black and white pics. Some of the newer model trophy cams we've had some serious issues with. Such as electrical burning of cords as left in woods. Took that one back to cabelas and showed them and they gave us a brand new one. Awesome service by cabelas. But unfortunately the new one quit working too. Although others we've had have been pretty good.Stealth cam we tried once and had issues with it taking pics right from the box. A have a old moultrie that still works but battery life isn't good. Cuddybacks that we have had have worked flawless except for taking pink picture or not coming out of inferred. I think most will get little issues from being out in the elements but some are definitely better than others. I look for fast trigger speed, long battery life, and size with inferred over flash as my biggest concerns.
