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!"
Hope they will finally realise in Nitendo that in todays world of HDTV's a HD outputing console is a must.
I do not want a more powerful graphics, just smoother ones.
@kris2lee
if that's true (that hd graphics are a must), then why is the wii (the only current gen console without hd output) the top selling console by almost 20 million units?
Wii-approximately 56 millions units sold
Xbox 360-approximately 37 million units sold
PS3-approximately 24 million units sold
@gettingmymacon A couple of reasons, actually:
1) It launched at a much less expensive price point, $250, compared to 360 and PS3. Also, the games are less expensive by $10. It may not have launched during the recession, but much of it's lifespan has been one, so the lower price point is no doubt a factor.
2) It created it's own market. Never before have so many people who have never played video games bought a console for themselves as much as their kids. This is the real biggie... and also the point that needs to be analyzed - how many people who bought the Wii still play it? I play mine rarely, and really only with other people.

one reason that many people don't purchase the newest video game hardware is because of cost. wasn't it just before the price drop on the PS3 that the PS2 was outselling it??? the masses don't want the newest, most powerful console on the market; the hardcore gamers do. nintendo listened to what a lot of people said about video games: they're too expensive and/or too complicated. nintendo then came up with a formula for success. they made a reasonably priced console with games that were easy to play and thrived with that model.
the big question is, though, will it work again? will casual gamers be interested in buying nintendo's next gen console if it is simply an improvement on the wii? probably not. so, while nintendo will need to step up its game for the next console, right now hd graphics are certainly not a must as evidenced by the wii's huge lead in console sales. if the wii stopped selling right now and the PS3 and Xbox360 continued to sell for another 4 or 5 years, the wii might still hold that top spot. that's pretty impressive.
@gettingmymacon
To answer your question I think it will
Casual gamers can expect 720p on the next Wii;
Blu-Ray will be dirtcheap cheap by then which inevitably will get gamers hauling in on what Sony tried to do with its consumer base.
You can also expect much better motion sensing controls.
Nintendo set themselves up to essentially never lose money on a console they develop in the long run.
I hardly play my Wii but I have to admit what a brilliant strategy Big-N had for the 7th gen consoles.
@Entourage
You do realize what Nintendo originally made only $6 on every Wii sold when it was still $299
