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!"
hmmm...............now i havta choose between this and the habu.
what about the rechargable batteries? are they really any good? idk. i know with my wireless logitech mouse (wich takes two AA batteries) i have to replace teh batteries every 3-4 weeks. so is it better to have rechargable batteries or not? that is the question.
