So I'm reading reviews of cameras and such, and here's one thing I find funny--people buy cameras that have stabilizers, and then complain when their shots of moving objects turn out fuzzy. Allow me to share my Moving Objects Digital Camera Advice.
A stabilizer is only meant to correct for the natural shaking of your hand when you take a picture. But to take good pictures of moving objects (sports, cats, kids etc.) what you need, on any camera, is for the shutter to open and close very rapidly. I mean, your camera could be perfectly stable, but a moving cat will still appear as a blur if you don't take into account the shutter speed.
The way I take pics of my cats is to put my camera on the multiple-shoot function (where the camera takes back to back shots, like what you see at fashion shoots on tv), preferably in daytime lighting so the camera doesn't have to wait for the flash. Then you just choose the funniest pictures out of the 5-10. Works very well.

Soon you'll need to start a new blog - photography advice!
(I wonder if my camera has a multi-shot function...)
Frank and I use the same function when on vacation and trying to take pictures of buildings and want to get the flag blowing in the wind to be fully visible in the shot. Take FOREVER to sort after the fact!! But worth it.
