Hi James. This is complete cock and bull (as we Brits say). If you are talking about auto-focus, I would agree, but then ANY camera takes a second to focus, whether it's AF or manual focus. Once that little revelation is taken care of, then the shutter may be released instantly. I have a D60 and that is nowhere near 'the most expensive digital cameras', even though trhere is supposedly a shutter lag of about a tenth of one second, I cannot detect it in real world use. When I press the shutter button, it takes the shot right away. I use it for portrait work constantly and it is excellent for this. I see no reason for the Pentax DSLR to be any different. Season's greetings :-) Cotty ____________________________________ Free UK Macintosh Classified Ads at http://www.macads.co.uk/ ____________________________________ Oh, swipe me!
