I was just reading some specs on most p&s. Most start at 1/250s!! WOW.
Some show 1/300s, and some go to 1/500's. I thought that was bad.. My
friend commented that is the same shutter speed, as a Hassy, so not a big
deal. YES, but a Hassy 80mm starts at F2.8, not F8!! My sister's p&s which
she took on her honeymoon in Bora Bora, all the shots came out blurry. She
was UPSET!! I looked at the specs of her camera. 1/250 and it started at
F5.6. Upon closer inspection, I saw that it did up to F11, so she had only
3 choices, F5.6, F8, F11. Actually, she had no choices, the camera decided
for her! I noticed that because of the low quality lens, when I tried her
camera, it shot at like 1/30th (roughly) all the time... I can't hold a
camera that steady without propping it if I'm shooting sub 1/60th... So
it's no wonder most of the shots she had were horrible. Add the fact that
the camera came with high quality ground PLASTIC lenses, and I don't
understand how she can act all surprised...
Of course the irony is, her camera costs more than my OM-1n with a 50mm..
