hi folks,
after using an old sony dsc-p3 for a couple of years, i lashed out on a sea & sea dx-8000g - not least to take advantage of the much faster shutter speed.
so - shutter speed is nice - i get blurry pictures of the _sides_ of fish now rather than blurry pictures of tails - but i'm having some problems with the auto-focus
the sony, for all it's slowness seemed to be pretty good at taking in-focus snapshots. the same can't be said for the sea&sea. this was particularly noticeable since the chances i've had to use the camera so far have been in delicate environments where it's difficult and/or not done to hold on to anything for support.
any tips for off-the-cuff shooting with the 8000g ?
