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!"
People, people!
A clarification:
The Satellite/iPhone flickered on when Hurley touched the 'call' icon, and then when it flickered off, he *observed* that the battery died. It should be obvious by now to devotees of the show that there is some sort of electromagnetic field barrier on the island which interferes with "outside" electronics (i.e. planes, helicopters). Therefore, "charging it up" using The Others' electricity is--like failure--*not* an option.
I know, I know, before anyone else says it, I need to get out more!
