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 am buying the 9th gen as soon as it is released. I only want a plasma made entirely in-house at pioneer. I have a 42" pioneer plasma that is only 1080i but I am still so much more impressed with it than I am with anything Panasonic puts out.
