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!"
Just an FYI to everybody out there that may not know this. Microsoft is selling Windows 7 Upgrades AND Retail versions of the Home Premium and Professional versions to STUDENTS ONLY for only $30. This can only be done via telephone by calling 1-877-MY-MS-STORE. All you need is a valid school email (.edu) and a credit card/debit card for ordering over the phone. This is an AMAZING deal and let me repeat, it DOES include the FULL RETAIL ($200/$300) 32-bit and 64-bit of the Home Premium and Professional versions of Windows 7. The Ultimate version is not included for whatever reason. I ordered mine today and it will be shipped out on October 22nd.
Professional's been available free for a good while now through MSDNAA. :D
Certain students also have access to MSDNAA and can get it that way too.

Thanks Galen! I called them and I'm getting a full version too! Thanks for the tip. Too bad Digital River won't let me cancel my order. Guess I can let someone else use it.
It's true. I got Win 7 Pro for free through my college's MSDNAA. Already graduated this past spring though. Was pretty happy when I came across it ;)
You can also get Windows 7 Ultimate for $99.98!! Students Only

Thanks, Galen! I just ordered my "Full" version of 7 Professional for $29 from the number you provided. Also, they offered a downloadable version or the actual product shipped to your door for $4.99.
Galen, a thousand thank yous! I just ordered my copy and canceled my Digital River one.
Thank you so much, Galen. I just called and am getting the full version for $30. Can't beat that!
