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!"
Damn, the world must be coming to an end. The useless and overpriced IPhone comes riding on the clouds to cast judgment on the poor folks who have failed to see the light. Separating the Apple saints from the sinners, Apple declares it's 1,000 year rein on earth. What a crock. Once again we have to put up with Apple's grand marketing scam; and sadly, Engadget is playing right along. Come on guys and gals, give your readers a little balance here, please. (Ducks my head to avoid the lightning strike coming my way).
Stop bitching and use this.

Useless? Far from it. Overpriced? What phone isn't?
Is the iPhone perfect? Is it a God? NO. It's not.
But, gee - how many have attempted to imitate it? People want this phone, they want the touchscreen capabilities, they want the screen size, they want the storage size, they want the full browsing capabilities.
However, yes - not everyone bows down before the iPhone.
