I have a camera shake reduction thingy on this elderly Panasonic. But the
problem with this particular affliction is that it's positional and in
some positions, it's much worse than others and absolutely nothing would
enable me to take a clear photo, I'm afraid. Bob's suggestion of a tripod
is a possible as long as I'm ready, willing and able to cart it around the
nursery with me. The only drawback to that is the quick snap one wants to
take if something like that wonderful wasp lands on a flower under my
nose! If I want something especially clear and in close up, I get Ray to
take it with his whatever-it-is camera and I just have the little one in a
pocket for the odd plant pic for e.g. the web site or ID-ing on here. It's
not a major problem but a heavier camera increases it.

My Samsung is heavy, but when I am on a cruise I use a little 6 megs Fujipic
F610 camera which slips nicely into my shirt pocket. After all, who wants a
big camera which is liable to attract attention in such places as The
Pyramids :-(( ?

My little one did me very well on my World Cruise and also did me very well
on my America/Canada East Coast cruise last year.

Forgot which camera I used on the 'Midnight Sun' pictures on my Greenland,
Iceland and Norway Cruise, but had some wonderful pictures
