Re: What is the *stD's shutter lag?
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thats the one reason i went with the D2H for my sports stuff. Huge buffer,up to 8fs and shutter lag of 37ms. WYSIWYG. :-) Dave But also a case of you get what you pay for. If Nikon were selling D2Hs for what the *istD goes for I'd already have one. Low shutter lag is one of those things that makes a pro camera expensive. I bought and resold a number of non-pro Nikons because the shutter lag was killing my action timing, and I was used to the more or less instant response of the pro cameras. You don't really appreciate it until you see the difference. That was actually the biggest problem I had when I borrowed a D1 for a day; I was used to the shutter lag of the PZ-1p, and was slightly mistiming all my shots until I adjusted to just how fast the D1 responds.

i have had the Digital Rebel manual for a while because i wanted to see exactly what was different between it and the 10D.

Re: What is the *stD's shutter lag?
John, you'd know, does it make a difference, or much of difference how fast the write speed is of a flash card? If things are buffered anyway? Only if you fill up the buffer (which, on the *ist-D, means shooting more than five images in continuous shooting mode). If, like most people, you generally stop and think between exposures you'll never see the difference when shooting. You *might* see a difference when uploading images to your computer (that rather depenmds on what sort of card reader you use), but it's not going to be all that significant in total time. In fact I'll often just use the (really slow) USB 1.1 transfer cable, even for several hundred MB of images - just start the transfer, and by the time I'm ready to work on the images things are all ready for me.

I mean I still have to get one, a big one, and I am debating the cost of the faster ones v.s. the slower ones and whether any speed gain is that significant. Card write speed is more of a marketing tool than anything, real world operation is where it counts and there isn't much in camera speed difference between most cards, see: http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=6007-6432 Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
