I buy the cheapest cameras I can find, usually about 2 per year. I normally have 8-9 running, and I have about 2 per year that crap out. Most of mine are watching feeders, I change cards when I fill feeders, I don't do videos, or need any neat features. Half of mine don't even have the right time or date, I just use them to see what I have. The only thing that matters to me is durability and battery life. Nearly all cameras now days will take 30,000 pictures or more on a set of batteries. I also can tell no difference in durability between $65 cameras up to $200 cameras, I have had cameras die after one season and I have had some that make it 7-8 seasons, regardless of brand or how much I paid.
