I just saw the D-50 (5.0 Megapixel versus the 4.0 MP in the D-40) in a flyer for Cabela's for a "Doorbuster" price of like $69 this weekend.. Good price if you ask me and you could get 2 for $150. I'd rather have 2 good cameras in the woods than 1 great one.. But thats me.

They take good enough pics for me - I also picked up a moultrie M40 game cam on ebay for $100 (I think retail is/was $180+). It has better pics and much better battery life.

I don't want to haul a gun safe up there......but anything reasonable.

I have mentioned it before but the real cheap ones are $40 on sale. Rechargable C batteries, SD card and you are set. They are super simple to use. Yes, they are cheap, but the photos are clear enough for me.
View the photos on your digital camera.
