One thing about children is that you'd need to lower the camera to their (eye) level, and you'd have to chase them. Seeing that a tripod is cumbersome, I'm contemplating about a monopod. Would folks have some experience to share about this? Tonghang >> Shooting kids is one of the few exceptions I have to my tripod or monopod rule. First off, the shots are probably just snapshots so critical sharpness is not too important. Use a flash bounced off the ceiling and try -- if you don't have it already -- to get autofocus it makes life a whole lot easier... A monopod would certainly be a better choice than a tripod.. Vic
