Touchdown! Greaser!
Pulling the camera discussion out of the hijacked hobby thread...
I've been thinking about what ticks me off about my current digital, and I'm wondering what my next one should be.
Specifically, I hate the delay that's common among many digital cameras. "Point and Shoot" has become "point, wait and shoot." I'm assuming this has something to do with charging the CCD, but would it really waste that much power to pre-charge it and allow quick shots?
Also, my current camera is terrible for night work without a flash. It always wants the flash on, and if you manually turn the flash on, the exposure time is so long that you'd best be shooting from a tripod, and be really careful not to breathe too.
Any ideas?
