If you are patient you can find brownings for 60-70 each. That's what I've been doing but thinking about starting to swap them for cuddelinks.

I have a couple of these from different batches. Great sensitivity, one catches vehicles on the road at 100 yards and the pics are clear. Battery life is phenomenal. Only problem is that they juggle the time stamp while deployed. I haven't bought one in a while. Have they fixed that?
Date changes (jumps around) while deployed is that what you mean?
Yes, I set the date, come back in a month or two and the date is all messed up. Doesn't bother me that much but you'd think it would be an easy fix.
I have never owned Reconyx and probably never will due to cost. But I have not found any difference in longevity between $30 cameras and $150 cameras. They all last about 3 years and start failing for me.
I can speak for reconyx if you have never tried one u will be impressed! I have 4 from 10 yrs old to 2yrs old all work perfect !! Just keep taking great pics and dont miss animals!! I will say my cellular one takes all the photos to the chip in the camera but sometimes i do not get all the pics from the cellular service! I have seen deer infront of my cam on a food plot and next day when pics download im missing some pics! But they are on the chip in camera ! So its the service not sending all pics !! I have heard same thing happens with alot of the cams out there??? But the cameras just keep on working!
I've noticed this with my reconyx cell too. It also seems like the only cell cam that the deer visibly investigate/get skiddish around. Anyone else notice? I dont know why. I have three different brand cell cams on a popular field as a sloppy experiment, and almost every time I sit it I see the deer react to it. The other cams they dont even acknowledge. Even the Cudde J's that "click". None of the cams have been touched since June and are all on set treated posts in the open field, so it's not like one is hid and one isn't.
