Default What camera for pictures from a glider cockpit?

I've had some good luck with a wing mounted camera using a Radio remote
control with a Harbortronics Digisnap 2200 controller and Nikon Coolpix
5400 digital camera.

examples:

Their system works with a lot of Nikons and a few other brands.


another option outside the US:

This would work with a Sony DSC-V1 or other Sonys


with some cameras a systems such as this could be added to a radio
remote

Some interesting equipment, and perhaps the camera I pick for external
glider pictures will have the inputs required.
