Got 2 wild game innovations for 49.99 each at dicks last year watch for their sales they have good ones. Also try eBay usually you can always find what you want.
I've heard good reports on the A-5's I was actually thinking of picking up a couple to try. I've had a few wildgame cameras and they have all had issues, I've been buying cheap cameras due to theft where I hunt but the WGI's eat batteries so fast I spend more in batteries than I would running a better camera. When you add up all the extra batteries I'm not saving anything if it were to get stolen.
I can get 2 of the Moultrie A-5's on eBay brand new for $100, or just one for $50. I don't need something with ridiculous image quality, just good, but I want it to work reliably.
I have had both the a5 and the wild game innov. Both work great for the price. Make sure you point them north and south otherwise you will get white wash when the sun rises or sets. They don't filter light as well as the older ones but not a huge deal.
be careful with the cheaper cameras! They can be bettery hogs and end up costing you more than a more expensive unit that lasts forever on a single set of batteries. Perfect example is my primos truth 35 which RIPS through D cells... compared to my bushnell trophy which has been going all fall on a single set of AA's.
