Do "lab tests" help you make camera buying decisions?

Please comment briefly on your experience with image stabilization lenses in low light, with slow shutter speeds or when doing macro work.
Do you think that the stabilization trend in lenses will lessen the use of tripods for you?
Yes, with an image stabilization lens tripods are only necessary in rare instances.

No, regardless of using image stabilization lenses, there’s simply no substitute for the image quality you get by using a tripod

I would use both, as each has its purposes and one doesn’t necessarily cancel the use of the other.

Please comment briefly on your thoughts on using the cloud to store your images.
How do you feel about storing your images in the “cloud?”
It makes sense to save space and to have images whenever I want them.
7% (12 votes)
I wouldn’t trust my images to be stored away from my control.
49% (85 votes)
I see it as just another backup to complement my own, and it makes sense to store some images there for safekeeping.

Please briefly comment on recommendations you have for getting the most from white balance controls.
One of the interesting predictions for this year is that most digital camera sales will be by those buying their second, or even third digital camera, and that first-time buyers (or those switching from film to digital) will be in the minority. If you are planning to buy a digital camera this year is it:
If you are buying your second (or third, etc.) digital camera, please briefly comment on why you are or might be considering that purchase.
