Bill - thanks for the example - nice photo..
wt21 - Thank you - I didn't understand the relationship between shutter speed and ISO, I thought that ISO was a way of measuring how much light sensitivity the sensor picked up, or how sensitive it was at any given moment. I had no idea that changing the ISO changed the shutter speed, I can remember as a kid having a 110 camera with film rated at 400 ISO, I didn't know that if I changed the film speed the shutter speed changed as well.I presumed that like film, the sensitivty of the sensor changed when using different ISO speeds.
I think I need to go take some photo's at the weekend with different ISO values and look at the exif data to see what shutter speeds were used, then hopefully I can get my head around it..
Im getting there, after this weekend, I have the beginings of an understanding about shutter speed/apperture and the effect it can have on a photo - I want to emphasise that is just a beginning though
Now I need to get my head around the third corner of the triangle...
As for getting a DSLR or micro 4/3 - I can see me getting something in the future, but I think Im better off learning the basics with my S95 first and understanding the limits of the camera, so I have a better idea of what I want in a DSLR.
The other thing that puts me off is the size, the whole point of a S95 is having a camera all the time, spending a couple of grand on a DSLR and some lenses is hard to do when Im worried that it won't come out to play enough..
I had a powershot G2 which was only used (on auto!) 30-40 times a year and I don't want to repeat that with more expensive kit - not yet anyway..
Mind you - there is an Olympus Pen E-P1 going cheap on the members forum
