An important role for the InView Unmanned Aircraft is in aerial photography.

The Canon G10 digital camera on the InView can be used to detect distant objects of interest, but one has to use a higher resolution digital SLR camera, such as the Canon EOS 5D, to classify distant targets.

• Photography using the Canon G10 camera

Above: the excellent Canon G10 digital camera, far better for use in aerial photography that the Canon G9 and the latest Canon G12, in our opinion. In fact, this is the best mid-size digital camera we have found.
