My "free" tripod that i got from buying my cp5700 at the IT show is starting to feel a little "wobbly" to me. But since i have it, i just use it, but i'm wondering wat a "good" tripod is? i guess it has to take the weight of the camera (which isn't heavy) but if i wanna upgrade to SLR next time how? then the other thing is that everytime i use the tripod i will use the 3s timer so that it doesn't shake when i hit the shutter button. do "good" tripods hold the cam steady even when the shutter is pressed? i dun wanna be getting a remote control, for that cam it's 100+ bux and it can only be used with that cam...
i know it's a vague question, but if i were to buy a new tripod, what should i be looking for? wat brands are reliable and wat's a good price/budget to be working with?
currently i just take night shots of cityscapes (that's when i use the tripod most) or when i go out with groupd of friends, the tripod comes in handy when i need to take a group photo, and everyone can be included (not gonna let a stranger touch my cam as much as possible! heheh) other than that i don't use the tripod much.
