Default Digital camera in scale models!

Well I usually reside in the Scale and Warbird sections of RC Universe, but need the assistance of you aerial photographers.

I am building a 1/5.33 scale Spitfire MKXI (Brian Taylor plans) which was used for photo reconnaissance during the second world War. I would like very much to mount an oblique camera which sits behind the pilot and looks over the port wing. If you look at the attached picture you can see the window for the camera at about 10 o’clock on the fuselage roundel.

I have absolutely no idea what to do in terms of a suitable camera, vibration protection, and how to trigger pictures. I would like the pictures to be of good quality with the camera as light as possible. Battery power will need to be remote to the camera to assist in maintaining the balance point of the model.

What would you folks recommend for this job?

Many thanks in advance.
