Rather then get a discussion going on IFISH go here:

For example: Each manufacture has a few models, some good some bad. And what's a good model last year may not be so good this year. Like my Moultrie I bought a couple of years ago was a great camera but from the reviews I have read on Chasingame, it has gone downhill in terms of trigger times and other issues.
Really go over the Chasing Game website as it's full of information on all makes and brands. Well worth the read. BTW $200.00 is a good price level to start...
This is the camera they seem to like the best.
Leaf River IR-7SS fast trigger times.
