Watch out for ccd chip burn-in. I had permanent damage to a digital camera from lightning image capture. Now, that was back in 2000. It was a brand new Kodak digital camera and they replaced it without incident. I think the storage module at the time was 64 meg.
I don't think we have that problem anymore. I recorded a lightning strike on a pier at the beach back around 2009 on my cell camera. I thought it was a magnificent shot until I looked at it and that entire strike was blacked out. Low res camera as was typical on cell phones back then.
