Well, this is just my opinioin.
I like Cuddeback. I've got 3 of the No Flash cameras and they've worked well. Battery life is good and picture quality is very good. Haven't owned either of the 2 newer Cuddeback models, so I can't speak for them. Only thing I don't like about Cuddeback is the case design isn't the greatest.
This is the only
sample pic I have with me from my Cuddeback, an old doe taken last year at a watering hole.
Stealth cams also seem to be pretty good. IMO, the Stealth
cases are better than the Cuddebacks, but trigger speed is a little slower. Picture quality is okay. Battery life is good. Good deal for the money.
Stay away from the cheap Bushnell cams. I swore off Bushnell cameras after having lots of problems with the (3) 3MP cameras I bought, but I just bought one of their new 5.0MP Trophy models just to see if they've gotten better. The Bushnells I had ATE batteries. If this new one is a turd, I'll never buy another Bushnell product.
This is a good website for camera reviews..! They do very in depth tests.!
Cuddeback has a photo gallery that is a good representation of what to expect from their cameras.
RIHMFIRE is getting some good bear pics with his camera and CnJarvis has a Moultrie cam, maybe they'll chime in.
Good luck with your research.
