Sorry, I didn't mean to imply camera motion although that might be part
of it and be my fault. I think the low light just calls for a long
enough exposure that subject motion intervenes. I was going to use the
Samsung yesterday at my grandson's model derby race. It was outdoors
under a tent top but the weather was gloomy and gray. I decided I'd
better drag out the 5D instead. It's good I did since it ultimately
took ISO 1600 to get a decent shutter speed at f/8 which I needed for
DOF at 80mm.
