Good points, all. I also have a problem with these web pages and video clips of photographers "chimping" because there's no way of telling if that's what the people pictured are actually doing: They could just as easily be viewing their histogram displays or changing camera settings via a menu system. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
