bienvenue (or something like that) Welcome mr. skygod!!
-
This jump was done in 300mph uppers, and the tandem instructor is trying to stay above the dropzone.. or something like that.. if you want the full story.. pm Deuce

No worries. Don't go near any females and you won't even know JP is there. But that means I have to stay away from you too Ok.. I guess I'll just deal with him.. ha ha
-
AAAA decisions decisions.. Ok, maybe I'll be there..
-
oh no.. you're gonna be there too? I'm not going
-
In that case.. definately take a look at the Elph series, they have amazing image quality, they are nice and compact, and sturdy (metal case) Mine has been dropped, bumped, whatever kind of abuse you can do to a camera and it still works as new. Just remember when you take pictures, hold the camera with two hands, even though it's a small camera. It will help with image stability, which means sharper pictures for you.

I agree here, don't go cheaper because you won't need it anyways.. figure out what you can afford (or want to spend) and start looking in that range. looks like he already made up his mind on the Elph.. the new SD400 is NICE! and it's super compact!

I don't really want to get into this discussion, but I have seen pictures off of a 2.1 megapixel camera that will blow you away when it comes to image quality. I did not believe they were taken with a 2.1 camera until I saw the EXIF information of the picture. It has everything to do with the internals of the camera and how the pictures are taken, but a 6 megapixel camera for vacation pictures that are not going to be printed ANY larger than 5x7 (maybe the occasional 8x10) is absolutely overkill. Right now I have a backup 2.1 megapixel camera (Digital Elph) that's about 4 years old.. the quality of those pictures is significantly less, I agree. But if you buy a 3.2 or 4 megapixel camera today, you will not be disappointed.

I'd recommend a camera suit, sometime down the line you are going to want one anyways cause you'll get hooked up with a tandem that falls REALLY slow or something like that. Here's a picture of my basic body position when flying tandems. I try to go a bit lower normally, but this was "one of those" tandems that was all over the place When you go lower, you have to look up more, which means more of an arch.. so your fallrate would pick up. With the wings, you can compensate for that and stay right with them. I know there's a lot of people doing an awesome job with just a freefly suit, but I am challenged by gravity a bit more than most of those guys / girls so I like my camera suit. I think the basic message is: dress for success, put on the suit that will get your customer the shot they deserve! Be safe, read the camera flying section of the SIM as well before actually going out and filming tandems Iwan

I was told mine, but I'll have to check! We're already married. What fun would that be? I think you have to consumate at least once a year though... Well ok but I get to be on top! Ok, take those discussions back to the tent ok? Want vid?

Hey, just cause you're picking me up from the airport doesn't mean I'm gonna pitch your tent while you skydive! (erm, does that sound weird?)
