I would think a cell phone camera would have served just as well, something like a used Nokia 5800 would be good as it has a reasonable camera.
The weight would be less and you could do away with the separate cell-phone for GPS. One would need to code a little to make the camera auto-shoot, but while at it you could record all sorts of interesting accelerometer and GPS data. Would be a nice school science project.
