    Camera for Biking

    I've been looking to get a camera to carry with me on the bike. I'm not looking to spend a ton of money (under $200). Just wondering what people here use, as you can relate to the need to capture something quickly while whizzing by on the bike while not being too bulky. My real camera is a Nikon D70, obviously nothing I can carry on the bike

    I have an Elph, the size of a pack of cigarettes.
    it's not the best camera in the world, but it's easy to use and
    even takes movies.

    for six tanks of gas you could have bought a bike.

    Camera for biking

    I have a Sony Cybershot, which tends to be around the $200 pricepoint. I have used it on several occasions for cycling, backpacking, snowboarding and it takes great pics! It also has a small video clip... small and fits in a jersey pocket very easily.

    I just picked this up for an upcoming trip and for biking. It's very small and light takes great pics, even at high speeds.

    You already shoot Nikon, have you looked at a Coolpix?

    I looked at this one in the store recently.
    Very slim and light, high resolution, large viewing area, anti-shake and low light capability.

    Can't go wrong with Nikon glass.

    Nor a Canon. I love them both.

    I've been wanting to join my 2 loves in this regard as well. I have a Canon 30D but have yet to carry that on a ride. My "point and shoot" is the Canon S3 IS which is not like a simple rectangular camera. I carry this on rides sometimes in its Tamrac bag which is attached to the Tamrac belt that I wear around my waist. I have an old point and shoot but it's dying so I stick to the S3. I know that my option is probably not for everyone but my pictures are important to me. One day I'm going to carry the 30D on me the same way I carry the S3.
