Yes, we have harped a bit on the advantages of using a tripod for certain types of photos, and we'll continue to harp as long as folks like camera support specialist Manfrotto make it so easy to steady your shots. That would be via the new Modopocket, billed as the "world's smallest tripod" (actually looks more like a quadrapod). It's sized for a compact digicam and folds up small enough to fit on a keychain, meaning it's always there for self-portraits, night shots and whatever.
You can get one in Europe now for the equivalent of around $35, or check your favorite U.S. camera specialist in a month of so for overseas availability.
