I was out shooting birds yesterday, and at one point, had pretty much fallen asleep at the switch (or shutter button) when one of the herons I was tracking finally decided to take off and fly. I hit the shutter button and there was only the slightest of hesitations, I wouldn't even call it a "lag," and the camera was firing away! I think it's even less than .2 sec, honestly.
