Default Looking for a Scouting/Deer Camera

Hey all, I'm getting ready for the late archery deer hunt here in AZ around mid-December, and looking to improve my odds this year by concentrating in some areas I know have deer. They are so spread out here in the desert though, it hard to find them. I decided to invest in a couple scouting cameras to help with that, but I have no idea what to look for in a camera except that I want a digital. So, tell me:

What are the must have features?
What are the reputable brands?
What are you using and how's it working for you?

Thanks all...

I would say that the biggest thing is how much are you willing to invest? I have a buddy that has a $400 Cuddieback and a $100 Moultrie and has had good luck with each. From what I've seen, there isn't a big difference in them. If it were me, I'd go cheep.

Thanks for the input...I was looking at that Moultrie as it looks to have descent features and a good price. I can afford to put a couple of them out there in different areas at the same time.

Okie, if you had some pics taken with it, I love to see them...especially if it's of one of them big ol' Oklahoma 10 pointers...

SOLD!!! That's what I'm looking for. Thanks allot for doing that.

2 questions for you though...how far is the camera from the feeder, and is that 8 pointer (4X4) still breathing? He looks pretty nice...tall tines.

okiedude thanks for letting us see those.

My neighbor has a couple of camera's on my property and I have know idea what brand they are but they are digital because he takes the card, replaces it and then views the card he just took on his computer.
