I'm actually quite happy with the 12MP Canon SX 200 I'm using with CHDK intervalometer. With a 4 GB SD memory card and the interval set to as quick as 2 seconds I can shoot continuously for an entire flight and won't even come close to filling the card. Afterward I just pick the shots I want and bin the rest, the stills I posted in the "day at the field" thread were done with this exact setup though I did render them down into 4 x 5 format to post on the web.
I'm thinking I may try flying my Nikon D80 on the heavy lifter if I can come up with an inexpensive method of triggering the shutter although it actually has less megapixels than the Canon so not sure exactly what I would be gaining by doing that as I'd have to set it to automatic anyway.
