Which have done a thing on it this month there was only .1 of a second
between the fastest and slowest button to shutter across the range of
compact digitals they tested. Auto focus took up a few tenths but the
average delay was 0.8 of a second.
Now I find the AF and the 'clever bits delay on my Canon EOS 50E an
intolerable delay to capturing 'That Moment' and frequently turn the
options off.
Oh how I wish I hadn't traded in my Olympus 2 series and all it extra
lenses and bits in for it. A mistake.

I would like a digital back for the Canon if they only made one.

Patrick Moore from the Sky at Night is astonishing to meet. He is so
