| Re: New Camera
Hello nikkilouise the rule of thgumb for hand held shots with a telephoto zoom is to keep the shutter speed at the same setting as you have the lens ,so say you have the lens at 200mm then your shutter speed should be 200sec or faster to avoid camera shake its nothing to do with needing a new lens.
What you can do is use either a tripod or monopod to give you the extra stability this will allow slower shutter speeds.If hand held increase your shutter if you cannot get a fast enough shutter speed increase your ISO setting until you get a suitable speed ,,hope this helps.
Your other about the Canon 40D its a good enough camera but in the past there was problems with a sticky shutter release do not know if Canon has rectified this fault but it is something to be aware of I have the 400D and its a superb camera
