Canon Elph - similar still camera?

[tetra316 0]

I had planned on getting a canon elph to use as a still cam for tandems. Only when I called skydance they said they no longer modify them since canon quit making them. Is there any other similar still cam that is modified that would work> I don't the $ to buy a rebel nor do I want the weight or size of one. Just looking for one that would work with tandems.

I know you mentioned you don't want a Rebel.. have you looked at the Rebel 2000 (assuming you are looking at a film body)

You can find those for about 100-150 bucks on eBay, and they come with a 28-80 lens, which is perfect for flying video (on the 28mm setting) for tandems. That camera is so light you barely feel it on your head and it is an awesome camera.

I modifed my Own Elph ( sounds perverse, doesn't it?)

the problem is, as you already know, they stopped making the FILM elph's

I think I am going to give the digital elph a shot. its smaller than the film but it seems to take about 20-30 pictures/minute. I really have to go buy one and try it out.

does any one already have experience with the digi-elph?
post up.
