From 2005 - Hillary Duff

This is Hillary Duff at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The 3800 had a pretty good spot metering software.

One of the positives about using good ol' point-and-shoots is that you can see in real time through the view finder what the result will be pre-capture. For this shot all I did was move the camera around until seeing exactly the exposure needed, pressed the shutter halfway down, recompositioned and fired away. Immediately the screen froze with the result, allowing me to judge whether to keep or try again. With an SLR I would have had to shoot first, then verify by moving my eye away from the viewfinder to look at the LCD...possibly losing an opportunity during those few precious seconds.
