Default RE: Digital camera in scale models!

Thanks for the response again. Sorry about the missing photo from my last post but I had connection problems again!! I think my ISP has finally resolved the issue [&:]

I am relatively new to scale but really do enjoy the subject. Take a look at my web site [link=http://www.hbc.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/models/spitfire/index.htm]http://www.hbc.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/models/spitfire/index.htm[/link]

The basic indication from you guys is that any small camera will be suitable, although I will need to be careful about weight. I understand the restrictions the camera will have looking through a side window. That will have to be investigated! The engine will have rubber mounts, so that should help a little. I know the type of foam you are talking about and I can access it here in the UK.

Paul the Nikon is a nice camera, but a little pricey for my application I think. Looks like eBay will have to be checked out later today!
Is there any brand I should avoid for this project ?? A quick look out there and I found the following:

Kodak C310 - 4MP and fixed lens. uses std AA batteries
Canon A400 or 410 - 3.2MP 3.2 zoom. uses std AA batteries.

I am open to further suggestions but this is the "price" area I want to be in. - So who is this Mr-Cam bloke
