the problem with digital point-and-shoot

I love our Nikon D600. I love the immediacy of digital photography, the ability to edit on the spot, and to record many of the smaller events in life where I wouldn't have bothered to take a film camera. Never the less, shutter delay makes it not the best choice when you want to take many shots in a short period of time.

Like when you have seats so close to home plate you can snap the players coming back into the dugout after an inning in the field.



for instance, you might press the shutter release when Oliver Perez and David Wright are looking up, but not have the image captured until they've looked down at the grass.



you might try for Jose Reyes and Ruben Gotay and end up only with the latter, and blurry at that, because you were trying to catch the both of them looking up and didn't pause for focus.


of course, the inability to really control light and the angle of the sun might make it difficult to see Damion Easley's face anyway.



but you can count on Shawn Green to look up when he hears a nice Jewish girl calling his name!
