Modern specs are amazing, but I noticed you prefer to use manual. You probably know that the scores of 'auto' programmes do more harm than good because they pretend you don't need to think where the light is coming from, and which part of the picture is important. <br /><br />If the camera has 800 ISO minimum that does not introduce too much noise, you will be alble to use high shutter speeds 1 or 2000th sec. as standard. If you want to introduce movement into the picture shift to low ISO temporarily. <br /><br />The larger sensors of DSLR are essential for pro. image quality at a large size,but work against you much of the time. Even if you can afford thousands of pounds for long and wide lenses. <br /><br />Wide dynamic range is the subject to study because most sensors cannot (canNOT)cope with bright highlights and high contrasts. But they can be captured in multiple exposures that are combined later to form one image.<br /><br />The images in my blog have all been taken with an Olympus SP55-OUZ which really only works in soft lighting (landscapes excepting)<br />I don't recommened technology this old - there is no need), but a decent DSLR in the hands of a point-and-shooter is a sad waste until MANUAL use is mastered. <br /><br />I am also looking for a model about 2/3 years old, about 28 - 280mm zoom equiv. 10 megapixels, digital viewfinder. (if not DSLR) Take care and go well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397160420406462291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870059117621849383.post-507075658513154202011-04-05T21:16:15.493+01:002011-04-05T21:16:15.493+01:00Oh no!

It is a Canon 1000D with image stabilising lense and it rocks. Either that, or my photograph magically got 1000x better overnight.Emmhttp://missus-emm.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870059117621849383.post-86618909350710859122011-04-03T16:34:29.230+01:002011-04-03T16:34:29.230+01:00Check Belfast Taxi's blogCheck Belfast Taxi's blogJ Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746127431922685446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-870059117621849383.post-49921022283615952222011-04-03T04:22:30.295+01:002011-04-03T04:22:30.295+01:00If you carry a camera around with you at all times...If you carry a camera around with you at all times, a DSLR would probably be too bulky/expensive (especially some of the lenses). Some of the P&S have manual features that may work for you. The camera review site I like the best is steves-digicams.com.

I don't know a lot...Oh no, that is tragic. :(<br /><br />I don't know a lot about cameras so I have no good advice, but I wish you good luck in your search! <br /><br />Also, I totally didn't see that line until you zoomed in and pointed it out.
