I've read this rule of thumb several times: To avoid blur from camera shake when shooting hand held, a good minimum shutter speed is 1 over the focal length. So, for a 30mm lens, you might be able to get away with 1/30 second shutter speed...assuming you're careful.
Does that mean you are capable of shooting at slower shutter speeds with a DSLR vs. 35mm, at an equal angle of view, because of the 1.5X crop factor? Using the 1/focal length "rule", there's a 2/3 stop difference for the same angle of view.
Can anyone comment on my logic here? Does this make sense, or am I missing something?
In all the reading I did before I bought my DSLR, I never heard anyone mention this...what seems to be an advantage of smaller sensors.
Thanks,
Paul
