I need a light, compact hi-res digital with remote shutter capability.

<p>Anybody know which compact, lightweight point & shoot cameras have 10 MP or higher resolution, good lens, and the capability to trigger the shutter remotely (electric cable release jack). I want to mount on RC aircraft for aerial photography and must be able to trigger shutter remotely.</p>

<p>I do a lot of aerial photography with my Sigma DP1. No remote shutter. I have to mount a servo to push the shutter button. However the image quality for aerial photo is top notch. <br>

You have a lot of choices in the small sensor point and shoot. Most Canons and Nikons can be triggered with various remote trigger. I have used the BLIP remote successfully with my Canon G9. It also worked with my Canon A640. <br>

The Panasonic LX3 doesn't have remote and so are most Sony's point and shoots. I have not played with the Fuji cameras. IMHO stick with the Canon except for the digital elph. Also the Nikon Coolpix are well supported by remote trigger.</p>

<p>Try for one of the Canon compacts supported by CHDK.</p>

<p>Look through this <a href="http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/USB_Remote_Cable">http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/USB_Remote_Cable</a> to see how the camera can be triggered via the USB port.</p>

<p>Couldn't find a Coolpix what supported an external shutter release. Know of one?</p>
