Do you have one that doesn't have any lag after shooting? Aron I am no professional photographer, but in my experience with the common household film camera...every one that I have owned has a lag time that is no more/less than my digital I use now. Even conventional cameras have to wait for the charging capacitors to charge up for the flash. If I turn the flash off of my digital (HP Photosmart 318) I can shoot, and shoot and shoot without worrying about any lag time. I have no use for taking 5 pictures in one second, so I can't gauge THAT type of lag. 1/100th, 1/1000, 1/12000 shutter...means nothing to me, nor will it ever unless I take photography up as my job. If that ever happens, then I will rethink my opinions. Of course I normally shoot at the lowest quality setting for easy transmittal over email to family., so that has an effect I am sure. When I bump up the quality..there is more lag as it writes it to the CF I am sure. I have left the film roll for the digital as my common household camera, and I will never go back.

When I bump up the quality..there is more lag as it writes it to the CF I am sure. Yeah, I just tested this with my Epson (PhotoPC 650) 1.3 MP camera. At lowet quality (640 x 480 jpeg) it took about a second and a half from shutterpress to shutterpress. At highest quality (1152x864) it took about 7 seconds. This is, however, with a relaitively slow Lexar CF card (4x). Lexar sells 12X in their pro series now which would shorten the time. The 8mb card that cae with the camera is faster, but the 4X one was cheap when I got it, for an 80 mb card (It's nice looking at the number of shots I can take on that one: 300 at fine quality, which is indistiguishable, mostly, from the highest quality.) Also, my Epson is pretty old and slow as far as digital cameras go. A Nikon Coolpix I recently used was considerably faster. Bruce -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Good, inexpensive digital camera/Lag time
That is not a basic problem of digital cameras. That is a basic problem of the model you have. Apparently most/all Digital cameras have lag time after the shot. I have tried many at CompUSA and Circuit City and they all had lag after shooting. The lag times are even parts of the review process on web sites now. Do you have one that doesn't have any lag after shooting?

Re: Good, inexpensive digital camera/Lag time
Most digital cameras have a continuous shoot mode which allows you to shoot a number of shots fairly quickly (until your buffer runs out) and then they usually take around 7 to 10 seconds to recover and be able to do this again. The smaller the file size the more shots that can be taken in rapid succession, while the larger the size the less shots that can be taken. In single shot mode, all digital cameras have some lag time between shots and they all take from 5 to 8 seconds to start up after being turned off.
