Anybody have any suggestions for digital cameras to take in the cockpit?

Looking for:
Small, so easy storage in the cockpit. Shirt pocket compatible. I've also
got a Powershot S50, which is too thick for my purposes, although length and
width is fine
Decent resolution (5 MP or above?)
Large storage card capacity (1 GB?)

Don't need:
Professional quality (this will primarily be for snapshots)
Interchangeable lenses
Bulk

Anybody already been through the process of evaluating and selecting who
would like to share their experiences?

Thanks,

If you are wanting to take pictures of other gliders from the cockpit you will
want a 200mm equivalent lens...

Read - http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech.htm for interesting info about digital
photography.

He has a Spring 2007 camera guide out.

He is partly to blame for me shelling out for a D80 to replace my F3 - I have to
take responsibility for still taking poor pictures.
