It's sad that many folks feel this way. I want my cameras to last. They shouldn't be disposable. But those who aren't willing to pay for a quality product should not complain about them not lasting either.

Between theft and bears, its hard not to. Could you buy a cable and a box to protect it? Sure. But now you are in them another $50. You could of bought another cheap camera or two.

This is how I feel. Also, I can do a lot of hunting for the price of a couple high end cameras.
Some people are trail cam enthusiasts, so then it probably makes sense to buy a high quality camera. Others just want to know how many 4+ year old bucks are running around their area.
ive bought all my cameras when they go on sale. i think my most expensive was $65. wait til after the new models come out and u can pick up last years model for super cheap. i have browning, moultrie, bushnell, wildgame innovations, stealth cam. i have 17 total now. all my cams are on public land so they all have a security box, and all our cable locked. ive had 2 stolen so far, which is why i buy cheaper ones. for me picture quality is not as important as other things. as long as its not a blurry blob its fine, but brownings are prolly the best bang for the buck. i also use rechargeable batteries. its a bit more investment up front but its way cheaper in the long run. lithiums do last longer but ive had my rechargeables last for over 6 months. i leave my cameras out all year too, and just move them around. during the season i swap cards and batteries regularly and in the offseason i swap cards and batteries about every 6 weeks.
