Funny, I thought nearly all digital cameras (M8 and very cheap P&S being
excepted) had optical zooms these days.

As likely as I am going to commit underwater mass murder with
chopsticks. _Sometimes_ I put the object there, but _most often_
I use the golden ratio or a 1/3rd placement.

A hand width is one common definition --- the hand being in the
scale of the peron in the shot. Again, this is _not_ always
the right way.

Nope. Being off-center is usually much better. Unless you
are doing mugshots of criminals.
