<p>Two confusing technical terms:</p>

<p>"Focal length" as a measure of angle of view. If we just talked in terms of angle of view (probably <em>horizontal</em> angle of view, primarily) the world would be much simpler.</p>

<p>"Shutter speed". In the vast majority of cameras you can't adjust the speed of your shutter, just the length of your exposure.</p>

<p>It would also be very helpful if Photoshop stopped lying to people about file size -- this causes endless questions. It reports pixel count * bit depth as "file size", and also causes people to think about the size of their digital images in terms of physical measurements of length (e.g. inches) rather than pixel count. </p>
