But if you have a choice between taking a chance at 1/4 of a second (especially when you NEED the photo for a newspaper, etc.) and not getting the photo, that isn't much of a choice at all, is it? Sometimes ultimate sharpness is not the goal of the photograph. In terms of overall success of a photograph, the context in which it is taken matters too. If the photo was clearly taken in less than ideal conditions (dim street lights, etc) some lack of sharpness can be excused. However, if your pictures of mountains in the distance on a sunny day are blurred, you have a problem.
