Anyone have any experience with the Sony Cybershot DSC-T7

It looks like a good bet for those non-pro skydive applications. The video spec suggest that with the 1GB you could get a fair 30 FPS 640x480 flick.

My brother in law has one of these (he's a wuffo)
It's a great camera but not for jumping. The stills are great for a very small cam but the vid capability of this is not that great. It pixelates pretty bad on high motion stuff. Also there is no remote option and it would be a bitch to mount on your head due to the form factor.

Keep looking...

Had looked pretty seriously at it's predecessor the T1, but, opted for the new Sony DSC-P200.

Sony DSC-P200

Have been VERY glad for a number of reasons.

1. The P200 has a viewfinder, the T7 does not. It doesn't matter what anyone says, sooner or later you're gonna end up with the sun at your back and you won't be able to see squat on the screen, I don't care how big it is. A viewfinder has been a shot saver on more than one occasion...!!!...

2. The P200 is 7.2 Megapixels vs the T7's 5.1.

3. P200 is $100 cheaper. With the savings I bought the four year extended replacement warranty and a case. Not a bad idea in this sport which can be tough on equipment.

4. While I can't verify this, even though both have Zeiss lenes, was told the P200's glass was better.

As for the case, I got a LowePro digital camera case with the stitched on belt loop instead of the velcro type. It fits perfectly on a chest strap where it has made quite a few rides. Great for pics in the plane on the way to altitude.

Hope this helps.
