Shutter Lag
Ok you DSLR owners...
Most ppl who have used a digi camera would know all about the lag time between button press and actual take of pic..... not real special when ya wanna get an action shot or spur of the moment shot. Do DSLR's suffer from the same? Are there some that do & some not? Does it depend on settings? Any info good or bad re DSLR's would be welcome... I'm not about to spend big $$$ to get one if lag is a big issue

big factor is auto-focus.. focus the camera and get the lighting set up before the action takes place, it will be a shirt load quicker to take the image

yep.. only auto focus can mess that up. if u have enought light and it can focus then as soon as u click it will take photo and hold button down takes 20 photos.

Most of the time I can take the shot without any lag. Unless I get too close to the target then my camera complains and won't take the shot. But to answer your question, most of the time it take the shot instantly. That's one reason I bought the SLR camera.

Most SLRs (Nikon D80, D200, Canon 350D,400D, 30D etc) also take less than a second to "warm up" when you switch them on too which is handy when some jackass is about to hurt himself and you want to catch the action!

Thanx for the replies guys, good to hear!
Every non-SLR digi camera I've ever seen or laid my hands on has suffered from this, wonder if there are any that don't? Perhaps in the more recent models? 'Spose in the end it's all academic, coz an SLR will definitely be my next purchase

i think ppl here are confused between shutter lag and shutter speed... two different parameters.

I think with the point and shoot cameras is they have a much smaller mm lens so they can use a lower aperture which means better autofocus in dark situations.
