Thanks,you explained in part why my cameras' (Sony DSC H-9) images are soft,in part due to a small sensor ?
-perhaps also,using the zoom distorts the images ?
Thinking about buying the Canon rebel DSLR XTi,to improve image quality-but how to compensate for a HUGE zoom that I am habituated to..certainly the kit lens will not cut it !
Some serious studying to due,now....as getting ready for a long summer touring with the band I shoot for-if I know my bunch,they will rush me out at the last min. to buy a camera,lenses and monopod....
Suggestions ?
Bear in mind I'm a beginner,with small hands and often shoot one-handed,holding onto the stage scaffold.....:blush2:
