It definately depends on you budget. I would agree with the above post that the Covert II's seem to be getting a lot of buzz, but they will set you back about $225 a pop. If you can afford that for a single cam then I would do that. If you are just starting out with cams and are on a budget, then I have read over and over and over again that the Moultrie D-40's are the way to go. If you are patient and watch Amazon.com these cams will dip to 80 bucks shipped to your door.

I got some I40's I can get ya for $160.00 brand new. I have 60 of them and I love them. I am interested in the coverts but not for that high price.

I keep reading that these trail cams have slow triggers, meaning that often the animal is out of the camera's field of view before it goes off, so you get pictures of nothing or maybe a tail. How are the CovertII and Moultrie I40 or D40 for that?

I've owned a bunch of different cams over the years, including the home brews. For my money I'd go with the DLC Covert II. It's a great little unit, with good battery life, LED's , pic's or video, and great picture quality.

 

Good luck!
