But you can take a nice pic of moving objects without blurring the object (the background will stay blurred). It's like this... you follow the object for a few seconds before pressing the shutter, and this way your lens will have the same angular speed has the car, and the car won't (If well done..) blur.

Let me know if it worked!
Thanks for the advice....I have a Ricoh Caplio R1 which is claimed to be the fastest compact digital camera currently on the market.
The light shouldn't be a problem since the pics are taken during the day in sunny weather.
I'll let you know what happens when I take a few pics tomorrow morning before work.
