:D :D :D
Somewhere there is an Andy Bright shot that is super sharp yet taken at a ridiculously slow shutter speed. I remember Foxy commenting on it.

I found when I moved from a 6mp sensor to 12mp I had to add another stop to my safety level, so resorted to using at least monopod when a tripod is not necessary.

If in doubt doing a few tests to establish your own is easy enough.

Somewhere there is probably a thread that refers to program mode and how it selects aperture and shutter speed. I have just found this graphic I drew up in 2007 that may be of interest in this thread.
