Jim's images are indeed sharp. > Image stabilization (lenses & cameras) cameras do help. Sort of... tends to soften things a bit. Tripod whenever I can, which isn't often, but I do notice a difference, even when scanning. Using a tripod is a different approach and that produces different images (from handheld shots), and that's why I think people who are satisfied with their handheld shots say their shots are just fine. They're finding the subject and composition appropriate and compatible to the method - and so are the viewers.
