Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"We need a digital camera that can be switched on and fire off that first shot fast. It's not a commonly tracked statistic on any review site, and nobody seems to have this information for every camera. We were hoping other readers could inform us as to what small digital cameras can fire off their first pics in under a second (ideally under half a second). It needs to be small, but mostly, just really quick in operation. Thanks!"
WHY IS EVERYONE YELLING ABOUT SEGWAYS? CANADIANS ARE YELLING AT AMERICANS, AMERICANS ARE YELLING AT CANADIANS, AND SO ON. I AM AN AMERICAN, I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST CANADA, AND SEGWAYS ARE DUMB. I THINK THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT THIS BOILS DOWN TO -- PEOPLE WITHOUT SEGWAYS DON'T HAVE THEM BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY ARE DUMB, AND PEOPLE WITH SEGWAYS GET ALL DEFENSIVE BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT SEGWAYS ARE DUMB, BUT THEY ARE BEING TRENDY AND FASHIONABLE BY NOT WALKING ANYWHERE. IT DOES NOT MATTER ABOUT SIDEWALK RIGHTS OR THE DEFINITION OF A PEDESTRIAN, BECAUSE SEGWAYS, AS MENTIONED EARLIER, ARE DUMB. PEOPLE WHO RIDE THEM ARE NOT DUMB, THEY ARE JUST MISGUIDED. I APOLOGIZE FOR SHOUTING THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE, BUT I FIGURED I COULD AT LEAST TRY TO BE AS ANNOYING AS EVERYONE ARGUING ABOUT DUMB THINGS. LIKE SEGWAYS. SEGWAYS ARE DUMB.
