I don't see a need to upgrade my Xs. I can print publishable photos to A2 size, and that's big enough for me.

Just use a purpose-built trail cam. Sub-second response, optics optimised for trail conditions, weatherproof, robust, durable, long battery life, designed to be secured to trees. There's a bit of engineering in a reliable trail cam. (D
