Hi,
does anybody know a digital still camera that can take pictures in reasonable high resolution (let's say, 5MP) at high speed (let's say min. 5pps)? And is affordable?
Taking stills from a video which was taken from a UAV doesn't really work. Too bad quality.
The end goal is to send a UAV on a mission, let the camera run during some part of the mission and then evaluate the photos after the UAV returns.

Do you mean five pictures per second? That's a lot.
The GoPro does 2 pictures per second at 11 MP.
The other option is to use CHDK, which is a substitute firmware for many Canon cameras, which will allow, ah, I think a max of 1 picture per second. The info is here: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK
It's easy to use...and I am sure you could find a used Canon camera of 5MP or higher for not much money.
Buy a Canon, as you like.
Run firmware CHDK for your model (search if there are firmware available to your camera) that could setting really short shoot, and be happy.. :-).
After, post your results here.
Best regards... sorry my poor english!
