That may have been the case with my old point & shoot camera, but not the digitals. I tried no flash at a quilt show, and it's amazing how much better you can see the quilting without, even in poor light.<br /><br />I'm glad you got all these pointers!

It sounds like she gave you a whole bunch of new tips and tricks that I hope will help with your confidence in your new camera. My fancy camera didn't even come with a flash, so there's no way to use one unless I buy an external one. Crazy, right? But, I guess that's one way for a camera to let you know that the flash is the devil! I just love that all you NYC ladies are friends and get together. I'm hoping to become part of - or build if necessary! - a similar community here in Seattle.

Only when you are ready however! (This is one of my hubby's favorite settings for his flora/fauna/sunset pictures--I tell him this is the only reason he buys cameras.
