By the time the shutter fires, good expressions have gone to bad ones, and heads have turned so that the face is no longer at a good angle or even visible.
Yes indeed. I once took a Nikon Coolpix POS on vacation. The shutter lag was so bad that not only did people's expressions change, but they had walked completely out of the room. I had frame after frame of nothing. No such problem with my much older Olympus.
Never buy a camera without checking shutter lag. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
