Default Contest: What is the best digital camera?

Here's an idea for readers to get an idea of the best digital camera to use for aerial photography. How about everyone post
a sample picture along with what kind of camera you used to take it? Of course, some people will have a setup that allows them
to carry heavier cameras... but I still think the info could be useful. I'll start with a sample. I took this picture with
a [link=http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Kodak/kodak_cx7300.asp]Kodak Easyshare CX7300[/link]

Oh yeah... I have a slowstick with brushless nippy 1812 motor to lift it

I can't compete with that but here's a low alt picture with a [link=http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Samsung/samsung_d202.asp]samsung digimax[/link]. This is actually one of pictures from my first attempt at aerial photography. Just started with RC planes two months ago. Setup is a SS with eflight park 400 brushless.

That's a good shot for only 2 months into it. Mine were a lot worse when I started last summer, and I'm still working on
figuring out guesstimating where the camera is pointing.

Actually perhaps contest isn't the best word... hmm... I have an idea brewing in my head. Make simplified version of a site
such as dpreview.com ... but only deal with R/C aerial aspect... people submit aerials, they are then categorized in a gallery
so you can click on a camera and see the results. I'll have to toy around with this idea a bit, but so far I like it.

Here's one I took earlier today - again with the Kodak Easyshare CX7300

Here's a few I took with my Nikon Coolpix 4300 today. (My house is the one with the light blue pool in the lower right corner of the first picture.)
