Nikon 8400, 8megapix, zoom 24-85mm

I got one of these. Lovely camera, doesn't really fall into the small
and compact category though. Sort of a stepping stone hybrid between
compact and SLR. But it does hang on its strap quite nicely around your
neck - just make sure it's secured against bouncing off your forehead in
the event of a cable break if you launch on the winch!

A link to some pictures taken with it using a polarising filter a couple
of weekends ago over the Cotswolds here in the UK (not soaring - I was
ballast in a motor-falke :-)
