A few questions of my own:

1. I know the rule of shutter speed faster than 1/focal length to make clear images. Now, does this mean absolute focal length or focal length in 35mm equivalent? For example, my lens on my Olympus E500 has a maximum focal length of 180mm (360mm in 35mm equivalent) so should I be shooting faster than 1/180 or 1/360?

2. Filters. I want to go buy a filter or two to put on my lens this weekend. Should I get a polarizing filter or a UV filter? Why?

3. Noise Reduction. What is the best way to reduce noise in pictures without resorting to in camera NR? I know that in-camera noise reduction makes pictures softer, but I'm wondering how much extra work it is to reduce through software.
