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!"
Does anyone know if the 605 will ship with a DVR station and a power adapter?
nope, you have to buy the DVR station and charger separately.
this is called flexibility, you buy what you want, charger, DVR (even for a simple TV out), and codecs :(.
It would have been a blast if archos would have provided its DVR free and codecs free, but thats just a WISH.
bottom line is - the more you pay the more/better you get, and archos makes is so clear.
anyway i need a touchscreen, so i'll shell out some more bucks.
