Like most folk new to digital photography, I have struggled with the difference from film cameras. The long time delay on taking a picture. I have since followed the manual (!!!) and when needed push the button down halfway to give the camera time to do its thinking, then the rest of the way to tak

You can get blurred pictures using digital cameras because there is a delay after you press the shutter, while the camera adjusts exposure, etc. Using a flash reduces this but I like to shoot without flash. This delay is hard to get used to if you are a 35mm film camera user. You click the shutter

Hi Art In the pro world the opposite is true - everything I shoot goes onto press in some form or other. (magazine,packaging,adds,catalog etc..) - A digital file photographed with a good digital camera has superior quality to a drum scanned piece of film. The pixel structure is much cleaner - Pr

I own an Olympus C-3040 Zoom (3.3 mega pixel) and haven't noticed any problems with stop action pics (I think the digital is as good as my 35mm cameras (an Olympus point-and-shoot and a Canon SLR)). This 3040 is packed with features and operated fully automatic or with manual control. Every featu

Hi Gary Does the camera allow manual ISO settings ( Set the ISO to the highest possible to allow for a faster shutter speed ?) Sounds like the camera is selecting too slow a shutter speed. The only way to overcome this is having a camera that allows control over the shutter / aperature selection.

Fred question: I am having blurred pictures every time I take a picture of a moving steam engine outdoors. As a result, I am switching back to film for any moving shots, since I can set shutter speed and F stop to compensate for speed. Digital camera is a Sony Cyber-shot 3.2 megapixel with outdoor

Hi Phil I would agree. Home and hobby use are very different from pro use. As a rule the smallest size I use for jobs is 20mb. and the largest I have worked with is 1.2gb. For 5x7's and even 8X10's you can pull great prints off a 3 megapixel camera. (I also spend 8-12 hours a day working in Adob

You can get some very good pictures with a 3 megapixel camera. I don't know how fussy you are. I still don't think a digital camera in the hobby price range will compete with a 35mm Nikon with fine grain photo film especially in the 8X10 or 16X12 sizes you are referring to. Like everything else, th

Hi Tony Nearly all the professional photographers I know (myself included) use Epson printers. I have both the 1280 and the 2000 printers. Both produce prints that will challenge and in the 2000 case beat the quality of any 35mm negative enlarged to 11X14. The one word of caution is that digital c
