How to shoot moving objects? My House is kinda dark inside, even with every light on. My Mavica MVC-FD95 set on high flash does not do the pic justus, would the Mavica MVC-CD 400 do any better at this, and still take good pics outside?

Teri, You need more flash power than your digital can dish out with its integral flash. IMHO, the integral flash on very nearly *every* camera that has one (film or digital) is so weak it is more *marketing* than a useful feature. The integral flash on your Mavica is rated to a *maximum* distance of 8.3 feet. This is less range than most of the cheapest point and shoot cameras have with theirs. I don't believe you need a new camera to solve your problem. The integral flash on the MVC-CD400 you mention is rated to a *maximum* distance of 16.4 feet. It would work better than what you have, but is still not that far. Although the CD400 is definitely a more sophisticated camera, a much less expensive solution is a an external flash. Among the best options for your FD95: Sony HVL-F1000: If you cannot find it locally and end up looking for a source from which to buy the flash, I recommend B&H Photo Video in NYC. B&H is one of only three NYC camera stores I trust. They sell to pros worldwide, their reputation is stellar, and pricing is competitive (among the *honest* dealers): Hope this helps you out. -- John
