Anything from treebark and reconyx. Quite pricy but worth it.

I am now running nothing but Cuddebacks. Between me and another AO member we have over 30 of them. Never once have we had a issue with them. They are very simple to use and the price is right.

Default cams

i have personally used moultrie and stealth cam, they are not quiet as good as some of the top end ones, but they are fair amount cheaper, and they do a good job for what you pay, you can get a moultrie d50 for like $90 or less, it doesnt take video or anything, put it does a good job for the amount you pay, good for starting out. the stealth cam is slighty more expensive $150+ but they seem to have very good battery life, and take good videos.

I run all stealth cams, just because they work in the cold. You can get them on ebay for around $100 (UNIT's or Flash 850 Snipers are best). Just make sure they are new in package, not refurbished. Then you can get an external battery pack from BassPro for around $50 and they will run for months between charges. I leave mine out all winter and they dont skip a beat. I have a dozen and have had two that stopped working, but stealth cam sent me brand new ones, no questions asked.
Positives-Cheap, work all winter, good flash, quality pics, cheap lock brackets available, great warrenty/service
Negatives- Cheap, Time delay is slow
