Thanks, Jim. 
Tell you something else I believe I'm correct about:
For the best quality pics and best lasting value for the money,
best bet is a "home-brew".
"Home-brews" are not going to be "cheap", but they're also not as expensive as a Reconyx. They do produce the absolute best quality images, and quality control is great, as they use REAL cameras within them (such as Sony) and their triggering mechanisms are very tried & proven (such as the SnapShotSniper triggers).
"Home-brews" are either made by yourself, or purchased from someone who would custom make them for you. They are the original trail cams which spawned the trail cam industry. As regular cameras (such as Sony) have improved quality and lowered prices, the rise in quality of "home-brews" has increased with them, along with lower prices.
I still have 10-yr-old homebrews that work, and have faster trigger speeds than most of the "commercially" made cams. Mine use Sony cameras. NONE of my commercial cams other than Reconyx have been as reliable.
The only issues with homebrews are higher initial cost than the "cheap" commercial cams, and the ability to make them using true invisible "black" flash. That said, I'd prefer a white flash homebrew over a red-flash so called infrared anything.
