what is the delay with the Kodak v610

Hi M.,

Most reviews seem to indicate that the v610 is a pretty speedy little gadget. CNET's review, for example, said:

"A very short, class-leading shutter lag of 0.2 second in high-contrast light seems to be the performance highlight for the Kodak EasyShare V610. That drops to a less impressive 1 second under low-contrast light. Time to first shot runs just 1.3 seconds, while the shot-to-shot time clocks in at a decent 1.8 seconds regardless of flash. The V610 also captures up to 8 frames at about 2.2 frames per second (fps) in both 6- and 1.1-megapixel modes. As with the V570, the screen does not black out between shots in burst mode, which can be useful for panning bursts."

Hope this helps!

I find that from the "Power On" to photo snap (including focus) is about 2 seconds or less. Time from depressing shutter to capturing photo is about as fast as my old 35mm film camera - meaning no noticeable lag time.
