Nature Watch: A Moon for the Misbegotten
One of the more troublesome of photographic facts is the incredible beauty of images made by robot cameras far away in the heavens.
A Reader from Lakeside, MT reviews the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H9:
What's Hot: Compact size, 15x Optical zoom
What's Not: No RAW
Review: I've been using this camera for about a month. Very pleased with resulting pictures. Apparently very wide exposure latitude as dark and light areas in same scene turn out well exposed.

An old adage suggests that we use a shutter speed that is "one over the focal length" to avoid blur caused by camera shake. If shooting with a 200mm, for instance, use 1/200th of a second. The digital SLR with its lens factor changes this old saw. That 200mm produces magnification equivalent to a 300mm, so be sure to increase the shutter speed accordingly. New proverb: "one over the effective focal length."
