Default Which game camera to buy

Looking to buy game camera that can send images to your smart phone and does not break the bank.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

Me too. They are now called Ridgetech. Money well spent especially for bear baiting...

Bushnell Hands down.

I haven't used the wireless Bushnell or Uway.. but have used both of their standard cameras. I imagine it is pretty well the same image quality between standard and wireless.

The image quality from the Bushnell cams are far far superior to Uway. atleast in my personal experience. ( not the wireless ones, just standard)

I sold my Uways and bought more bushnell Essential E2 cams

Here is an example taken of the same deer a day apart.
TOP PIC IS UWAY
BOTTOM PIC IS BUSHNELL

They send photos to your smartphone, but they do break the bank.

Spypoint has the Link-Evo coming out in April. Includes Sims card and runs on 4G. The my Spypoint account is pretty neat I get updates several times a day. It's one of the better priced cameras on the market for this year at around 300-350$.
