I don't know that I can go with the more expensive they are that the better they are. I have had pricier cameras crap out just after the warranty ran out. Every brand makes some dogs. That is obvious if you go to the reviews and forum posts at www.chasingame.com, http://www.chasingame.com/forum/index.php

As for cellular cameras, the Covert Spec Ops Code Black is what I use. They work well. Moultrie requires a paid program and a website to view your images (at least that is the program my buddy has), but you can change settings on the camera from home and check its status. My buddy hasn't been terribly happy with his results.

For the Covert and a couple other brands, you just need a sim card and if you go with the GoPhone route, you can get 1000 images a month for $10 (AT&T or T-Mobile systems), or you can add it to an unlimited family plan (AT&T and T-Mobile). I keep a running set of images here and here...

These are emailed to me and I upload to Photobucket.

The Covert Spec Ops Code Black emails or texts (or both) images less than 80K in size, but records the images on the card in the camera at full resolution (3, 5, or 8 mb). These run about $300-330 depending on if you can catch them on sale or not. I am getting 1200+ images out of a set of 12 rechargeable AA batteries (Eneloop 1900 mah) before the cellular part stops sending images, though the camera itself continues to function.
