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!"
Hmmmm. Although it's a bit of a relief to read this, I'm reminded of another company from years back doing a reformulation of its product much to the chagrin of it's consumers.
I can see it now: New Kuro being a dissappointment and eventually being replaced by Classic Kuro, which itself is pale shade of Original Kuro.
It will be interesting to see the first reviews of the "reformulation".
