Bushnell Trophy Cam. Not the cheapest, but they the closest thing to a sure bet in the following categories.
I'm running two 8.0 MP TCs and here's what I like:
1. Battery life. Trophy Cams use 8 AA batteries and you can power the cam on only 4 if you want to. With 8 AA batteries, my cams last for 4-5 months. I've routinely seen reports of people who use 8 lithium batteries and let the cameras run for a year.
2. Trigger speed. Fantastic. Never get just blurred pictures.
3. False trigger. Seldom if ever happens. Once in a great while when conditions are just right, what I assume to be the combination of wind and the sun heating up the ground, will cause a few false triggers. But compared to other cameras that shoot tons of false triggers, this is insignificant.
4. Small and light. To keep my cameras away from thieves, I mount my cams about 10 feet up in a tree. That puts it above sight line and makes them exceptionally hard to spot if you don't know they are there.
5. Longevity - My oldest Trophy Cam is going on 4 years old. Not a single issue.
