Hi All - I'm looking for recommendations for a
snapshot camera to carry while gliding. Last
season I used my iPhone - its a pain to use
in the cockpit.

Ideal camera:
- very thin (fits easily in side pocket)
- instant on
- no settings to fiddle after turning it on
- doesn't autofocus on canopy
- super-fast focus and shoot
- fast repeat shooting
- easy operation with one hand

Needs to be grab-and-shoot with no fuss and no wait.

Recommendations ?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards, Dave "YO electric"

There are a bunch that will do. *I use Canon SD1000 -- no longer made
-- bought an SD1200 for someone for Christmas, looks like the same
only faster, slightly smaller. *RTFM -- you'll be surprised at the
capabilities of these little gems.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I do not want to RTFM; if thats necessary
the camera is not the effortless point-and-shoot
needed for quick shots while flying.

Does this camera *require* RTFM,
or is it really point-and-shoot ?

Thanks again,
Best Regards, Dave
