This is interesting. The last sentance impressed me.
“Most of the time you’ll be surprised at how great photos with Point and Shoot cameras are!”
Since I started using my DSLR, I was underestimating my old P&S Kodak C340. But really, It can also capture great images. Its the photographer who must know how to use the equipment.
Thanks David, you have opened my eyes.
I feel sorry about my old Kodak and apologize it..

This is very good advice and useful for diagnosing problems….shutter speed aperture etc.
However if you are changing time zones please remember to change the time in your camera or else you will be wondering how come you were able to take a photo in London in the middle of the night in bright daylight (my camera was on Brisbane time).

Using ImageQuery (freeware) software to search EXIF data fields makes EXIF even more useful. One can search their whole computer drive for photographs taken on a particular day, or even a particular time of day. IPTC fields allow even better indexing but this is another topic.
