    Yes - tons of features on today's DSLRs - I rely on just a couple tools - maily keep the shutter speed twice the focal length to help ensure sharpness. I strive for lighting - good lighting is everything. Also would spend more on glass than a camera body because I think glass is the central part of how to capture a scene. And when I process I work in layers to maintain the original image integrity
    My Buddy used to tell me never to shoot under 1/125 shutter speed, or you chance movement blur. I think the new digitals are more forgiving in that manner than the film cameras.

    Yes lenses, holy cow, you can spend a small fortune on glass, but, ya gotta have it with an SLR, digital or otherwise.

    Do you shoot in RAW? I hear that you never have to worry about degradation when processing a RAW image.

    Most cameras and/or lenses has image stab but that buys probably one stop at best. If you're using a 17mm lens, shooting at 1/50th is fine, most of the time - but yeah, I prefer shorter shutters when I'm hand held.

    I shoot only RAW. Because i want the most data possible in the image. And yeah, glass is expensive. I've used $1500 glass on a 200 dollar camera with good results. But $200 glass on a $2500 camera makes little sense to me.

    I buy used now - my fav lens is probably my used $500 17-40 f4/L or my used $500 70-200 f4/L. I have a used 50m 1.8 - which was $60. And a 300mm f/4L I got new for about $1200 maybe?
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Yes, FOR SURE, IS. I've shot shutter speeds of half a second and gotten an in focus picture with the IS. Image stab is surely a gift from the photography gods...

    I've been contemplating a new camera for awhile, but it's not in the top 10 in my current priority list, but when that time does come, I like this camera...

    Seems like a really nice, all around, feature packed point 'n shoot.
