I've used Scoutguard SG550s for two field seasons in Kenya and they've been good to me. No weather-related issues, although it doesn't get below freezing at my field site. They hold up well to animal abuse (rhino, hyena, elephant) if you use them with the protective steel cases. Photo quality is better than I expected for the price, and they're quite easy to set up. There is lots more good information, including side-by-side comparative tests at http://www.trailcampro.com/. I would also recommend buying from Trailcampro - the folks there are very helpful and trustworthy, great customer service.
