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!"
Dam it, i have an 8600M :( They better give us compensation for these faulty chips.
I'd prefer an upgrade option for additional payment to 9800M instead xD
That would be nice, but how about a free upgrade instead XD
