Digital trail cameras

I was thinking about getting a trail camera, and was wondering what is the best/cheapest one to buy. How do these things work in the cold?
 
Been using a Bushnell Trail Scout Pro this year for deer hunting. Good results with regular flash but pictures still need to be brightened up. I wasn't impressed with the infrared flash pictures. Couldn't distinguish bucks from does in IR mode. The 3 megapixel resolution is good. Four D-cell batteries last about 2 weeks, about 100 pictures, before flash starts missing shots. No experience with other brands, yet.
 
Rotaxpower,

Been using Bushnell Trail Sentry. It is a no frills digital camera with good quality pics. It takes 4 D batteries and has an outstanding trigger speed. You can get it at Opticsplanet.com for $139.00 with no tax or shipping. I have 3 and have about 6 buddies running them, best value going. It is a ball of fun in the summer and early fall. I have been taking my 3 year old son with me all summer to run cameras and he thinks it is great. Good teaching tool for a boy.

My vote as well. Faster trigger time than cuddeback. They're not IR but for $140, you can buy several. I'm not one to buy into the "no-flash" theory anyway.
