Default I am looking for some type of camera

I am looking for something small and light weight that I can strap to my helis and planes. Yes I do fly planes too, but don't tell anyone. I would like it to be able to take still photos and video. I am not looking for anything even close to professional, I just wanna strap it on and watch the vids. I would also like to be able to load it on my computer EASILY. I bought a Aiptek pocket DV, but it would not work right with my computer, after I bought it I saw where lots of people could not get it to work with window XP. Any help would be appreciated.

Most all Sony and Canon PAS (Point and Shoot) cameras have some type of video function. Just make sure it does 30 FPS and has at least 320x240 but 640x480 is better

Any of them will work with XP (I would hope) Here a list of all the ones that shoot video at 640x480 and the cheapest place to find them

minolta makes a lot of good point and shoot digitals that will give you the results youre looking for. I use one of their z-20's and it works great. You'll need to use a fairly large memory card if you plan on taking anything over a few minutes of video though.And the still photos from it are realy nice too!
