If you're like many photographers, you're always looking for the perfect image. In addition to a good, well composed photo, you want the best technical quality. You want your photos to show the fine textures, subtle hues, and crisp edges of your subject matter. You want the ultimate image.

If you need this type of image, medium format is here to help. Medium format, in contrast to 35mm, uses a much larger film size. By using a larger film area, medium format cameras, such as the famous Hasselblad 200 series can capture significantly more information, and therefore a much sharper, more vibrant image.

I have been reading several books by well-known professional photographers. What is really exciting is that some of the tips they are giving me are things that I have already been doing to some degree or another. One example is in regard to sports action. One of the main reasons I bought my new 40D from Canon is that it was much more suited to taking sports photos. Six frames per second and JPEG bursts of up to 60 or 70 in a row. I keep thinking that I should use raw mode more often. One reason I have been avoiding it is that the burst mode on the 40D in raw mode is only 17 frames rather than 60.
