Decided to take the plunge and buy a digi cam, and went for the one that Dan has been operating successfully for a few months now. Obviously nothing like the quality that Dan is getting has been achieved today, particularly as the weather is so poor, but hopefully I have got this all to work and you see Gama’s G-JJSI and Lowa’s VP-BZL:

Hi Rob,
Bridge cameras can produce decent images but for aviation photography especially aerial shots an SLR is much better. SLRs are much quicker and the image quality is better. With regards Arrecife, I was there in June and there are several great vantage points. If you need any advice for decent vantage points give me a shout.

the best value camera for shooting with at airshow is the long lens
A “long lens” without a proper camera body is a pretty useless piece of equipment for airshows and anything else…… 😀

A very good question – depends a lot on your budget.
Personally I would opt for an SLR – this gives you much more flexibility in choosing the type of lenses you want and also gives you access to other manufacturers products other than your camera make.
There are of course a few exceptions to the latter statement – for example if you choose the Sigma SD14 then you are for the most part stuck with Sigma lenses – although that’s not a real problem, because their lenses are good. On the other hand if you select a Canon, Olympus or a Nikon you have a greater choice between own brand products as well as the Sigma and Tamron range.
I am sure that others will recommend lenses with Optical Stabilisers and fast apertures, but this all comes back to your budget.
Other considerations include focus speeds, exposure bracketing options and handling characteristics to name but a few.
