"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!"
Even if they were selling very, very few of these, it's sometimes a big mistake for a company to drop it's top-end product. Dodge doesn't sell a whole lot of Vipers - the market for that kind of car isn't that big, but it gets a lot of attention and helps them build the overall brand.
