Ligthest camera

What are good options for ligthweight cameras with some decent quality?

The idea is to mount it in a helium blimp to take aerial pictures. The more
resolution (3 Mpix would be ok, but 6 is great), lens and image quality the
better, but weight is the primary value. Usual conditions are clear days
and lots of ligth.

Now I'm using an Fuji A204 with 2 Mpix, is 185 grams plus 60 grams of two
AA batteries and quite acceptable image quality in fact. Any better?

What about the Sony CyberShot DSC-T1, 5 mpix, 3x optical, 5.5oz, and the
size of a deck of cards.

A colleague did this with RC helicopters. (Didn't work well in
the end because of vibration). They found it was extremely useful
to have a video transmitter attached to the PAL output. They weigh
in at around the weight of the batteries and have a few hundred
metres' range.
