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 konw the topic is about sony, but this whole blu-ray and hd-dvd thing is ridiculous. LG-and other companies have taken a good step t'ward the next-gen hi-def dvd. Why on earth would anyone refuse and offer like hd-dvd and blu-ray all in one. Movies that only comes out for blu-ray and some for hd-dvd can now be watched on the same player. So this is my personal opinion, while LG and other compaines take that step and fuse hd and blu together there will be no format war, and down the line other major companies will follow and there will be a few but not alot of single stand alones. THAT MY PERSONAL OPINION. ANYONE ELSE AGREE. 1 FOR AGREE- 2 FOR DISAGREE
