What camera for pictures from a glider cockpit?

Make sure what ever you get can accept a polarizing filter to get rid of

Or fly a 1-26 with a sports canopy, so you shoot through air, not
plexi! ;-P

I settled on the Canon G-6 last year. I wanted fast shutter speed, and
features like programmable infinity focus...I've had other cameras that
had efficient infra red auto focus mechanisms: they focused perfectly
on the INSIDE of the plexiglass!

Soon I'll make a "sock" to put around the darned marketing department
silver plastic body.

Overall, I like the camera a great deal. I think they're $400 on
Costco.com I opted to get a 1G Lexar Pro CF flash card (much faster
than other digital memory...at least when I bought it).

Another good thing to get is a memory to PC-Card adapter. It can make
downloading todays pix to your laptop much easier than getting SeeYou
to suck a trace from a VolksLogger.

Good Luck!
