I just got a Canon Powershot ELPH 360 to replace my old Canon lanyard cam that was stolen last year. I've used it on a couple of rides and it works very well for me. It's got a nice big shutter button on top that makes it easy to snap a photo (or several) without having to look at what you're doing. My old one had a large power on/off button next to the shutter button and I often inadvertently turned off the camera instead of taking a pic. The new ELPH still has a power button in that location, but it's very small and not easy to push by mistake.
One of the features that comes in really handy is the high speed burst mode. Hold down the shutter and it takes 2.5 shots per second (one of which should be good
).
I picked the ELPH 360 because it has a 12X optical zoom, which comes in handy when taking photos from my plane. If you're going to use it strictly for shooting from the bike, one of the less expensive ones with a lower zoom capability might be more suitable.
