Tripods are definitely a real help. Another thing which can be useful is
a slave flash which will let you illuminate a subject from the side
(however, you need to be ware of cameras which preflash which makes a
slave useless).
I almost exclusively use a digital camera now. I just wish mine had
better macro capability, sometimes I wish I had bought the Mavica.
