Hi Johan! I´ve been working with Reconyx PC-800 (or 900 I don´t remember the exact reference, http://www.reconyx.com/hyperfire.php?model=PC&id=56) in the lowlands of southestearn Peru, and that one has been really good for me! The problem.. It´s no so cheap!! But, everything depend on your especific goals, there´re cheaper ones that work good for example with mammals, but I just know the performance in the field of the camera I mencioned and another model of Reconyx (R60; http://www.reconyx.com/page.php?id=61); I recomend both (better the first one), you just have to deal with the humidity that sometimes affect the camera performance, but you can just use silica gel and change it in the field everytime you need, and maybe try to make some kind of ceiling or something to reduce the impact of the rain.
