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!"
Hmmm, and its not like Western governments censor information they give out...but they is communist! Isn't that just the WORST? And that means they also all must be dumb too, right?? Right??? Thats what CNN tells us all to think, anyway...
