[QUOTE="Deckyon, post: 1229824, member: 197651"] In the price range you are talking about, and the issues your wife has had with the camera, you just are not going to solve them. There will always be a lag between focus and shutter release with PHD cameras. The only way to get rid of shutter lag is to move to the SLR style camera. I think she is expecting professional level photos from non-professional equipment and cameraman. As to blur, that is going to be 90% technique. Holding the camera at arm's, or even 1/2 arm's length will produce motion blur. That is the nature of the beast. Pull the camera in, brace arms on the chest or lean against a solid object. Also, when you Magnify and object in a lens you also Magnify any and all movement; either of the subject or the photographer. I am sitting on $15k in Canon Pro (1D MK2 and 20D backup) gear with top of the line L lenses and I still get some motion blur, however it is my fault usually. Take the gear out of the equation and the fault lies with the person pulling the trigger. At $300 budget, you really can't take the gear out of the equation. At that point, you have to learn and work around the limitations of the camera. [/QUOTE]
