SG550V $226. GReat little camera, Great for hiding in the woods. Except the Red glowing LED's.

Wish for the Black LEDS In the Scoutguards.

I would stay away from Bushnell, the one I have is a piece of Junk (would rather call it what it is but can't on here) It leaks, I sent it in last year just after I bought it adn they charged me to repair it and aparantly didn't since yesterday when I went to get it water was running out of it when I openend the battery compartment. It has never taken very good pictures. That is a couple hundred bucks down the drain.

they work well on dry days.

LOL, as long as you only use them then I guess they would be OK. Hard to keep them dry in Oregon and wshington though.

I have had good luck with some of the cheaper Stealth cams. STC-AD2, STC-ADX, and I590. All were under $100 and seem to take pretty good pictures. With the exception of a slower trigger speed I have no complaints. Night time flash is awesome. I live in rainy Western Oregon and always do a couple of things during set up. After attaching camera to the tree and before closing I throw a couple of the small silica gel packets inside to draw out any moisture that might get in. After closing I always throw a piece of tape over the seam on top of the camera. I leave my cameras out all winter and have never had a problems with moisture. Here is a couple of recent pictures.

i have a Bushnell my wife got me for christmas two years ago it works good and has never leaked i leave it out all year the only thing i don't like is having to put batteries in it every 3 to 4 weeksthe next one i get will have to take a external battery that last longer.
