    Want to get a serious camera? things to know?

    That's not unique to digital. Any exposure longer than about 1/60th of a second will not be razor sharp unless you tripod - with or without flash You can cut exposure time without resorting to a flash by using a higher ISO setting - this is the equivalent of using more sensitive film. You...
