Is it worth putting the extra $ in one? Say $200 or more. Or do the cheaper ones serve the purpose?  What has been your experince?

My experince is spend the extra money. You will save it in Battery life and be a lot happier with the picture quality. I like the Moltrie I-40 no flash. $200 and it stays up for the whole season on one set of batterys and nice daytime pictures. Just my thoughts. Chad

I agree with Chad....

[Biggie Hoffman]

Yes to a certain point. You can pay $600 for a Brand-x and not get better pics than with the $200 Moultrie or Covert II.
Plus like these guys already said, battery life and the cost between C's and AA's is a factor.
My Coverts run on 8 AA's and last a year.

There comes a point of diminishing returns with expensive cameras.  Pay $300 for one, and keep track of one trail, or pay $50 for six and keep track of six trails.  It also depends on how much you want to hang on the side of a tree.  If stealing might be a problem, then the expensive cameras are a real gamble.  I’ve been using the $50 wildgame cameras this year and I’m completely satisfied with their performance.

Thanks guys,  I am in the market for one that will last a while that is low maintanence.  

I'm not even entertaining the thought of the $300 + price range.  But for a good one that is reliable I will spend 200-250.

Mech,  I feel stealing shouldn't be an issue.  But I fell ya, essentually I would be puting a couple hundred buck on the tree and leaving it there.
