| Hi there. I'm just curious. To get a longer exposure for motion in a picture during the day without it looking overexposed is that where a DSLR comes into play with a different lens? Because my point and shoot Kodak(it does have full manual features) just can't take a long exposure even if I set the Aperture to the max 8.0 and ISO to 80. Anything over say a fraction of a second and it's overexposed. I take it that I've explored all the options this camera will let me in letting me take longer exposures correct? |

| A DSLR will typically get you about 8x longer exposure times (using a lens with a minimum aperture of f/22). That still isn't going to get you a very long exposure in bright daylight. You'd need to add a neutral density filter to cut down the light. |

You could pick up a cheap ND filter or three and secure them in front of you P&S with tape or something. Another alternative is to create pinhole cover using a used lens cap or piece of metal/opaque plastic/cardboard.

Kind of sounds like what we do with my telescope and special mylar filter to look directly into the sun LOL.
Thanks guys, I'll look into it down the road... |
