I find that a tripod produces good results, I,m going to get a remote for the camera which will help even more with image stabilization. I run AV mode almost all the time on sunny days I lower the ISO (sometimes too much) which also lowers my shutter speed(good for still shots though not flight, for flight shots Ive been bumping up the ISO which raises the shutter speed, but I want a slower shutter speed to capture more detail.

Here's some shots of Elvis to show some difference in detail with a high ISO and a 1/500 shutter speed, or you can just read the exif. First shot is the original with nothing but a re-size. He is 35 feet away.
