Mono Vs Tripod - advise, please.
I'm considering getting either a monopod or a tripod to steady my Fuji
S3000. A small monopod would be easier to cart around, but I wonder how useful they really are? Specifically, I'd like to be able to take steadier shots in low light conditions where I can't use the flash. My picture taking is just for family and friends - no professional aspirations (yet). I'd appreciate your opinions. The Sigma SD and SA camera lines generally do not require the use of a tripod unless you are doing a long exposure over 1 second. Images are always tack sharp. There is some mystery feature built into the Sigma camera bodies that prevent camera shake. Of course, Sigma does not need to brag like Canon or Minolta by throwing a "IS" or "AS" in front of the camera. Hope this helps, Orville ??? Are you saying that Sigma have a killer feature in their cameras and are NOT using it for marketing? Yeah, that makes sense! John |

Mono Vs Tripod - advise, please.--2 legs short
About two legs short. That's a monopod vs. a tripod.
If you're going to the trouble to drag a monopod outside why not take something useful? The monopods are only really practical when you're lugginga 300 or 400mm f/2.8 along the sides of a football field. Dan |
