Sensible camera advice in the SMH!

Strange but true - a sensible camera advice article in a mainstream newspaper. The tagline is
Forget megapixels. Forget digital zoom. These are not the features that really matter when it comes to taking better pictures

Amazing :shock:

Imagine if only we lived in a world of straight talkers & not S--t talkers, how much simpler life would be.

Hmmmmmm.

Good article.

Unfortunately, shutter lag has been confused with continuous shot ability.

"Better digital cameras, including most interchangeable lens units, offer TTL viewfinding." Wow, I'm sure glad I got one of the "better" ones.
