"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!"
Actually this is probably a good thing. iPhone users will need to get used to waiting seeing that this is only a EDGE device and no 3G for the US (did anyone see the announcement that Europe is getting a 3G iPhone that came out today). Just makes you feel proud, don't it? LOL!
