"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!"
Soundwave today would not have endedup morphing to a boombox but maybe a PMP... so his cassettes would not have made any sense, so this is just the logical step... Wait to see the compactflash laserbeak or the SD Ravage.
