I use a Recon Outdoors and a homebrewed Sony. The Recon uses 6 D cells and will take roughly 250 pics on a set of bats, uses CF memory cards(hundreds of pic capacity), IR flash, they have color or B&W models. The trigger speed might not be as quick as Cuddie, but they are great on a lick, not great for trails though. I built a metal box and use a Python cable lock to ensure it stays where I put it. Your Walmart cams would be fine if you use mineral, salt or any other bait or food and cost less than half of a Cuddie. I personally like the IR flashs, but you have to pay for them. You can always build a few in the winter to save some $s. I think most are adequate if you are using them to save days of scouting and helping to locate your shooter.
