Very nice shots you two. I almost bought that Lumix, but got the Canon A710IS. I wonder how much a tripod would help sharpen up the image. I just discovered that image stabilization mode softens the image a bit.

That's freaky, but understandable. Next time, I'll try turning stabilization off and using a tripod. I was on maximum zoom, so I needed something.

Same here. IS uses some sort of interpolation to replace what it deems to be blurry. I wondered why the quality of my shots seems to have gone down since I got my camera. I was wondering if the chip could wear out, then I mentioned it to a more gizmo-centric friend and he 'splained me. (And that's as much as I recall)

Yeah, they designed the image stabilization to soften the image because they figured the pornographers would need it the most.

That's a beautiful shot, 3foots... does it blow up well?

I thought it used little motors to move the lenses around. Are there two kinds of IS?

Actually, I just looked it up, and for the Panasonic, they do use little motors to move the lens around to compensate for motion.

I think some other brands do the IS by cranking up the sensitivity of the sensor to shorten shutter speed.

That IS blown up!


(Or as friends of Mr.Show will recall, "We waited until the moon was full to blow it up because we wanted to make sure we got all of it..."
