been running cams since the 35mm days. I do not buy expensive cams like i use to.They pretty much all have a shelf life and can only with stand changing temps, wet and cold for so long. I bought 6 wildviews 3 years ago and none of them have broke and I will continue to use them as I have had 0 issues and some stay out in mountains 365 days and are completely burried in snow and still taking pics when I return in the summer. Ive also had good luck with wildgame innovation cams and just bought 3 more on a deal they have going on some cams that are buy 1 get 2 free. Came out to $40 a cam with shipping included. I rarely spend over $45 for any cam these days.
