This one.  A lot of people like brownings but i have 13 of them, spec ops, strike force, range ops, dark ops, and after having used them for some time i dont trust them like the bushnells.  They miss things.

Just ordered a Primos Proof Cam 2. Getting back to basics trailcams that come in 3 color patterns with audio priced around $110 and slightly higher. Primos has a $30 rebate on them for a limited time. You can see some video samples on youtube. The plain green camera is the cheapest and you can get it for about $50 after rebate.

I use Bushnell trail cams on my property. I guess I worry a bit about not wanting to pay too much in case of theft, damage, etc... They have always performed well for me.

You can buy tasco trail cams for $50 at walmart that actually take pretty good pictures day or night. Last year I bought 2 and was really surprised at how well the worked and how many awesome pictures I got. Next year I will have a dozen of the same $50 cams.

Get a lock box and cable from trailcampro.com.  If it's not locked up, it'll walk off.  Learned the hard way to lock it even (especially) on private property.  I have pictures of a trespassing bowhunter this year, it took thirty seconds to go for the camera.

For the cable lock I use python locks some times you can get good deals on amazon too an you can get a four pack that all use the same key. Nice if your runnning more then one cam.

I ordered a Cabelas 12 MP Outfitters camera and it came in the mail on Friday, $109 shipped to the house and even has a 1.5" x 2" inch screen for viewing the pics, seems to work great
