Digital cameras

My sister in law has moved into the world of digital cameras. (We're here for the weekend visiting her.) She's a crack shot with a 35 mil, and had a telephoto lens on that thing that could put your eye out from ten feet away! Needless to say, she's an exceptional photographer. So it has been interesting to watch her experiment with the modern newfangled camera she was just given by her brother.

One thing she struggles with - I think all of us do - is how long it takes the picture to take after you click the shutter button. I don't think you ever get used to the latency of a digital camera. She also got caught off guard by the camera's demand to be fed new batteries every five minutes or so (an exaggeration, but only a slight one, as any of you with such a camera knows.)

But I'm sad to say that she now takes better pictures than I do, after only a couple of weeks with the thing. But then, everyone has their talents, don't they? Photography's not mine. :-)
