Size is not too much of a concern. Since I mainly drive the truck I can always set it next to me, or hand it up to the gunner for good pics. I am not going to be doing many dismounted patrols so I won't have to worry about lugging something around. However, most of us are carrying compact point and click cameras. When I get paid on the 15th I will also contribute.
