No substitute for real practice, is there?

Want to test in the shop before buying? Have a friend move a finger 
around like a fish, behind a not-too-clean piece of glass, while you try 
to take pics of it. You'll test autofocus, exposure controls, shutter 
speed, and delay, all before you have been a damned fool, like me, and 
bought 4 cameras before getting one you really like.

I, for one, am not sure what kind of tail shots Scott is advertising! 
:-) Be careful what you ask for. You may get it.

BTW, My comment about free advice being worth every penny meant *my* 
contributions, not Tony's! His are not only excellent words, well used, 
but the pics he has provided us show how much work and skill he has put 
into it.

The few fish shots you have from me are testimony to my lack of patience 
and diligence.
