Well this year I would like to pick up 4 more trail cams; any suggestions on what cameras I should look for? Attached are a few of what I have taken on my trail cams...advise to those looking at some Wildlife Innovations trail cams...look at the photos below.

2-The deer is too far away from the camera in the 3rd picture IMO.
Are you using an attractant?

Again, I think the camera is too far away.
That bottom pic, the camera is facing into the sun. You need to make sure your cam's are facing north/south so the sun doesn't mess with the exposure.

Your 2nd set of pics...

Same comments on the last set.

1- There's too much stuff in front of the deer in the 1st 2 pics. The camera is focusing on the brush instead of the deer. Not the camera's fault.

Not using any attractants. I thought about too much brush infront of the camera while I was setting it up, but that was really a bad location as well. I reset that location, but there wasn't that much activity there so I don't set up there anymore. I may do another set up close to that location this year, just not the same location for the camera.

That camera took nice, focused pictures of the brush. It was close enough to the camera, it wasn't moving and there was no sun screwing you up.
You might make sure you locate the camera in a north/south orientation and cut down the brush in front of it. An attractant will slow the critters down at least, which will get you a nice focused shot.
I don't think that the camera is your problem.
This was taken with a $69 camera and is not edited.

My bigger concern would be where they are being put. If they are where someone can find them easily then I would go with some cheap Tasco cams.
