There is no need for a display. The device is intended for acquisition
only. I was thinking along the lines of a low power PDA + usb. I hadn't
considered GPS, but that's an interesting addition if it can be made low
power.

It would be nice if the camera was fairly descrete. Perhaps a hat is
enough concealment.

Such a device would permit an unparalled degree of self-objectivity.
