Yes, digital is more demanding of perfect focus; not just because you can view the photos enlarged so much so easily, but because the sensor has no depth, the immediate perception of softness is greater because the resolution is so much higher when it _does_ work, and > And I'll bet you don't even have to give her a treat or throw a squeaky > toy in the air.... She's a wonderful model; she knows when to hold still and does it instinctively, usually for long enough for me to get 2-3 shots (Dr Ted would get 20!) and then she keeps going. Shoots with her usually last ~20 minutes and I get 4-5 decent frames, but this one is my favourite of her by far. Marty
