I would think the very small cameras in a padded case would work fine; especially the Minolta Dimage X series which have internal zoom lenses.
I am wondering what type of digital camera I can buy that will give me quality pictures but tough enough to take wrecks on dirt bikes and snowmobiles. Anyone have any ideas?
