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!"
c'mon folks why all the complaining like grumpy old men or women? a lot of people i mean a lot waited in line for days just to be the first ones to get an expensive iphone. people actually waited in line to get that expensive phone and they did not give a damn about the ridiculous price tag on it. the 5800 has capabilities and features that are way more than the iphone can do. i will never get the iphone because for me the price tag on it w/o subsidies is not worth it at all. i am not fond of irreplaceable batteries and just because you own an apple product doesn't mean that you are cool.
Is it not worth the price tag on it compared to the iphone's features and to what it can do?
