Buy a bigger hard drive as they are not that expensive any more and you wont fill it up and have to but another,

That is 16,000 shots at 25cents that I paid for in the cost of the camera.
View thru the camera and not on the back screen. Thru the camera is still the best way to steady the camera (with out a tripod)

Film is "pay as you go" today's cameras is pay in advance. (my first camera was$35.00 and 25 cents pr {Slide}shot.) Today I spent $4,000.00 and Paid in advance for 16,000 shots.
The pictures are fine. We must decide are we taking the shot for a picture or is it a technical project to be scrutinized of imperfections. I'm a picture taker, I take em, I like em and sell em (because the buyer likes em).

I'm a pro at buying tripods. I bought a ton of them, till I figured it out. You take your camera and equipment to a photo shop. You put your stuff on different tripods and find out the one that works the way you want with your stuff. Then you buy that one. It opens and closes the way you like, it fits the hight you want and your comfortable with it.
