    what cameras will they use?
    any made to fit kit? or something off a shelf? (presumably a top shelf)

    will they have a special shutter and other buttons? astronaut's globe are a bit cumbersome I'd say for a standard digital camera

    I know apolo missions used (allegedly) medium format to take pictures of themselves on the moon

    I am amazed that they would choose such a heavy camera given that it costs around 1 million dollars to get 1 kilo into space and the payload of a shuttle is so limited.
