How is the shudder time on the T20??

I really just want to know if it takes awhile for the picture to take once you have hit the button. Any info that you have on this if very appreciated.

Hi Meredith,

None of the major review sites (those that typically do tests of cameras' timings and whatnot) have reviewed the T20 yet, so there's no hard data out there for me to quote you. According to at least one source I found, the shutter lag on the older T10 is 0.2sec, so maybe that will give you some kind of baseline. And maybe someone who has a T20 will wander through here and give you a firsthand account. :)

Good luck!

I just got a new T20 for my birthday- I love the camera, but HATE the lag time. It is at LEAST 0.2 sec after you've pressed the button. And taking shots one after another- when you don't want to set it on continuous capture- is almost impossible. Not a good camera if your subject matter is wiggly or on the move (i.e. children).
