Excellent link! It shows my Panasonic as having a .45 second shutter lag. This is the same camera I just posted *has no shutter lag*. Why the discrepancy?
As the article states, it's measuring "the delay between pressing the shutter button and the camera recording the picture". It is NOT measuring a delay between pressing the button and taking a picture! How can I better explain this? I can take a picture with no delay. But I must wait a second or two to take my next picture, as it takes time to record the previous picture to memory. How long I must wait until my light goes green depends on various factors like speed of my memory card and resolution of the picture. The way I shoot, in maximum res, it seems to take more like 2-5 seconds, but that's probably my imagination. So can everyone please stop agonizing over this non-issue now?
