The speed is what I hoping will get better too, deri. Same reason, I blur so
many. 

Before this, I bought post cards to be sure I got good photos.

I've been using a Toshiba PDR-M4 for the last 2 1/2 years £400 then
2.1m pixels. I'm a big fan. As a replacement for a compact 35mm
taking family "snaps" it's great. Particularly as 2 out of 3 of my
"conventional" snaps came out blurred or not framed as I intended
(the shakes), now I can just take another.

The technology is still improving. For people with CP the thing to
look for is the speed at which it digitises images. Most cameras at
the time I bought mine were using shutter speeds equivalent to a
camera with ASA 80 film. Mine was quoted at ASA 100. I'll next buy
when their up to ASA 400 so that even poorly lit scenes use a fairly
fast shutter speed.

Cheers
