Looking at getting a good quality digital trail camera, possibly with night vision and a picture viewer built in. What do you guys use?

I bought a Bushnell trail scout. I got it mainly for security at our property, but I did set out some apples tonight for our pet deer.
The camera I got has 5 MP resolution, and it stores this on SD media up to 1 GB. It has night vision (IR LED) capability that runs pretty good. The night I set it up, it took photos good enough to read my license plate at 50+ feet. Aiming is done via an integrated laser in setup mode.
It takes photos in a number of different modes, Day/night/24 hour. Flash can be IR (night only) or incandescant, and you can change the time between pics from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
It has a video feature (night only in IR mode), complete with sound, and it is password protected so that if someone steals it, they're screwed.
I have a few deer photos on it right now, but I think I'll have a few more photos on Monday because I've been sweetening the photo zone with apples. Hopefully I'll get a shot of the 3 point on the property.
The camera uses 4 D cells for about a month of use, supposedly, and it was in the $400 range.
