It depends on what you want and how you're going to use it. Will you use it with bait? If so, you don't need a camera with a fast trigger speed. Do you want color pictures at night? If so you'll want a regular white flash camera, not an infrared. There are some good deals going on right now because some retailers are trying to get rid of their 2011 models to make room for the new 2012 models which I guess should be arriving soon. I've seen the Moultrie D50 for $50. Good camera, just kind of outdated, but they are reliable and take good pictures. Battery life is the downfall, as they take 6 D batteries, and in summer/early fall I get 6 weeks, and that I don't mind. But, if you try to use them now with the colder temperatures, you may get as little as 2 weeks. If you want an infrared cam, I've seen the Primos Truth Cam 35 for $60 and Wal Mart has the Primos Truth Cam 46 online right now for $99 and that includes a $25 mount. If you want to go really cheap you could get a Tasco from Wal Mart for $50, that way you could get two. You will most likely find that one camera isn't nearly enough.
