Ken Rockswell's "Digital Killed My Tripod" article

Jan 2, 2009

I'd like to hear some opinions about this. I'm posting here on the Canon forum because I use Canon and want opinions from other Canon users, especially because of their IS lenses, not all IS lenses and Canon's excellent low-noise results at higher ISO settings. For Landscape photography, I seldom carry my tripod anymore, especially on long hikes. My results are good, but what do you think?
