Interesting to hear that you have had good success in exactly the
conditions I would be shooting in. (I assume your successes are in bright light to allow fast shutter speeds.) Thanks.

In my experience, stabilization is not required. I have the Olympus C-700, 10x optical, and shoot at full zoom regularly as we sail along. Shake isn't a problem. More often, my trouble is getting things framed right as we bounce along. |

More often, my trouble is getting things framed right as we bounce along. Yeah, we're normally shooting in good light, but that's not required. My last emulsion camera is a Minolta SRT 101, pretty much all manual and still good enough for professional work. I'm constantly astounded when I ask the Olympus digital to do something in low light, as the results always exceed my expectations. I have a monopod, but rarely use it with the Olympus since it's so good in "questionable" light. It has to be pretty dark before the Olympus needs an exposure beyond my hand-held capability. I haven't found a shot that required the absolute stability of a tripid. -- Jere Lull Xan-a-Deux ('73 Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD) Xan's Pages: http://members.dca.net/jerelull/X-Main.html Our BVI FAQs (290+ pics) http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
