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!"
I've had an IBM R51 for about 3 years and have had almost no problems, certainly i've never sent it away for repairs. Am i to take it that when i replace this in a year or two i will have to think twice about a thinkpad? this is very disappointing. Are the thinkpads still the most robust laptops or have they been overtaken yet? the comment about the keyboard worries me in particular as i've always been very impressed with this one.
