Only when you aren't using the live LCD. From dpreview.com: Shutter Release LAG Using Viewfinder <0.1 Shutter Release LAG Using LCD Monitor 0.1 That is the same as the published lag for the Sony DSC-F717 that I own: Shutter Release LAG LCD monitor, pre-focused (shutter rel. half-pressed) 0.1 Shutter Release LAG EVF, pre-focused (shutter rel. half-pressed) 0.1 The lag on the *ist D is noticably shorter than the F717 when shooting in manual focus and manual exposure modes. alex
