There are more thigs in life than getting up early, use a tripod and shoot great pictures.

Originally posted by cosmicap 16 MP sounds brilliant. But if the sensor is still the same size are we not just squeezing more pixels onto it which does not necessarily mean a sharper picture. Did I read a discussion somewhere about more pixels=more noise? I think one of the later Canikons has been criticised for this.
Not just there, high pixeldensity = more noise is the generally accepted truth in digiland. Not that I am so sure, I think there is still room for developent...
Originally posted by Pål Jensen nd Marc Sabatella rightly pointed out that every image was proof of user error.
I have yet to see a single proof of failed AF that wasn't due to user error or simply faulty equipment.
I think that may be due more to the fact that most people do not want to waste storage with keeping OOF pictures...
Hwever where is the fine line between " the limitations of the equipment"( sounds much better as faulty implies equipent failure) and "user error'?
I mean there are certain limitations in AF speed. Don't you think it is entirely possible that someone sees a certain action, wants to take a picture but more or less knows that the picture as to be taken now,as the moment will be gone in a mpoment, een if AF has not yet locked on... If you you take the image at that point you may have the picture you want, even if it is somewhat out of focus. Now, is that "user error" as you did not wait for AF to lock on or is it "limitations of the equipment used" as AF could not work in such a short time????
Ofcourse with a flying bumblebee and even a puffin you have a bit more of an idea how they wil move than with rugbyplayers...
