I would like to pick up a few extra cameras, but really don't want to spend $100/each. I bought an inexpensive Moultrie 5 or 6 yrs ago for $60ish that has/still works well, but it's discontinued. I'm not worried about having the smallest, most discrete camera out there, nor do I care about super high-quality pics, just good enough to see what's in front of the camera. Can decent cameras be had in the $50-60 range, and if so, which ones?

I get the cheapest ones at the lowest price on Black Friday. I think both are wildgame innovations. They've been solid for 2+ year.

Make sure to click the coupon box for a other $10 off. These cams use microsd cards and not SD, just fyi. You can buy the version that uses SD cards for $70. There are lots of these cheap china made cameras on Amazon and this particular model is a winner. campark

There's an 8mp WI Terra Extreme on amazon for $50ish. I've always heard less-than-good stuff about WI cameras, but this one gets like 4.5/5 stars with 200+ reviews.....might be worth a shot.

There's always several of their products on sale during BF. I just get the one with the highest reviews.

I like the $28 tasco from WM. The pics are a little grainy, but you can tell what's on them.

I saw those and was wondering about them. You got a pic or 2 you can send me as an example? PM is fine if you don't want to post publicly.

Another vote for the tasco's at $29 with the $3 two year wlamart electronics warranty. Pics are decent. Battery life is 10X better than expected. Had 5 on fields since Oct last year and batteries finally died on them according to pic dates anywhere from mid March to early April. No malfunctions or issues. Cant beat them in my book. Cheapest way I have found to take inventory.

I took advice that I read on here, and buy cheap ones then buy the insurance/ protection plans and replace them when they break

Yep, think I'm gonna grab a few of those Tasco's.......$28.88+ tax, with 4/5 star rating, and $3 for a 3-yr protection plan. So, basically, $35/camera guaranteed to last at least 3yrs.

How do I get it to post a pic instead of a link to a pic?
