Hi Moose,

thanks for the welcome, and yes I did read about the tripod technique, 
unfortunately the tripod I bought years ago (penny wise pound foolish) 
looked quite good, but it is just not solid enough to hold the camera to 
be able to press with the finger. I used to shoot rifles a lot but find 
that the tripod doesn't allow me to hold the camera steady enough - well 
actually it is the 3 way head which doesn't lock tight enough. The 
tripod could also be a bit firmer though.

Thanks for the advice though. Maybe I should try with a beanbag on 
something solid and experimenting with technique before investing in a 
new tripod and head.

I think a 4 is probably a good bet but there is a slight difference with 
the way it works with the f280, I believe it doesn't sync at all manual 
speeds (i.e just up to 60) which doesn't allow quite the same control, 
not that I have played with that feature much and of course I stand to 
be corrected. Saying that it doesn't really matter because I will still 
have the 3

thanks Ian
