add note on small sensor cameras which *do* fake it.

Jan 2, 2013 at 5:25 comment added mattdm @jrista: I think that's best saved for a more advanced question. I couldn't find anything on our site that explains it nicely currently, but there's great article at Cambridge in Colour: Using Tilt-Shift Lenses to Control Depth of Field
Dec 31, 2012 at 23:13 comment added jrista No mention of T/S lenses to change the focal plane, and maximize DOF at wide apertures to achieve both max DOF and max IQ?
Dec 31, 2012 at 20:06 comment added Pat Farrell If you are shooting in bright sunlight (often for landscapes) then you dont' HAVE to have a tripod. You simply have to use a fast enough shutter speed to keep the camera shake out. The old Brownie and Instamatic cameras were always setup this way. They used a small F-stop (say F11) to get a very large depth of field. Everything from 4 feet to infinity was in focus.

More detail. Will add links when I'm at a computer.
Dec 31, 2012 at 15:40 comment added Bram Vanroy Thank you for your comment. I am about to buy a tripod, so that should solve some stabilization issues, I suppose?
