I've used Moultrie cameras for several years. I've read their customer service has declined due to a change in organizational structuring. I'm pretty big on customer service, so that pretty much rules them out.
The last 2 trail cameras that I bought were Bushnelss. Neither camera lasted more than a year without problems. I don't know how their customer service is because I didn't send either camera back. My fault.
After reading reviews it looks like Browning is selling a highly rated camera now and they have 3 models for $200 or less. Anyone use one of these?
Are all trail cameras pretty much disposable? I don't know if I'm ready to fork over the money for a Reconyx but if one would last for 5 years it would be worth the investment.
Opinions, reviews?

It's a sanctuary.

I think Covert is the only option you really have left after crossing off the ones you mentioned.

I bought one of the browning black flash versions from trailcampro.Com and it's been solid. Taken about 3k pics on 6 lithium batteries and it's still sitting on 100% and the pictures are very clear. Trailcampro gave me a 2 year warranty, free 8 gb card and free shipping for $150.
I switched from Moultrie as well after they wouldn't fix one of my blackouts.

Hey tightwad! Take that money you save on haircuts and spend a hundred and fifty more dollars and get a good one like I finally did.

Heck, I've got one of those in the floor in my garage that crapped out after less than a year of use.
