I have been thinking of getting myself a DSLR camera for quite some time now but with the advent of smartphones, this thought has been kept aside but ever so often, I would think of it again, like now, after reading your post :) The tips you shared are very easy to follow and are very fundamental too. And yes, I hate it when my pictures are not sharp, thanks to my shaky hands. I wouldn't have thought it is as simple as using a tripod, losing the strap, using self timer, disabling image stabilization and considering a lens hood. Even with smartphones, we can pretty much apply tip 1 and 3. Thank you for sharing them with us. I also appreciate the additional links that you shared for further reading. I for one am unable to figure out what is a suitable camera for me but with more articles like yours, I hope I'd be able to figure it out one day :)
