i suggest you to go to any camera shop and try out the cameras there. fiddle with, press the shutter, take a few pics, etc.. see if the images turn out alright.

if hand-shake is either, i suggest a tripod with remote setup, reduces handshake alot, but u'll be confined to more stationary shots.

nothing is impossible

flash won't solve everything and it's not easy to shoot with flash as well. if u're shooting landscape, u going to fire flash?

i don't see whats so good abt tht tripod....

could get a decent manfrotto and remote and even a wireless one
