Fractions of a second. I don't know how to measure it, though. Your own reaction time might very well be longer, but you could try to shoot a moving object (known speed) to see how far the moving object has come in the picture - compared to where it was, when you (think you) fired the camera :-). Perhaps you can use an old fashioned record player - fire when an object is passing a dot - see how far it got in the picture - it should be quite easy, but the shutter should really be triggered electronically by the object passing the fixed dot. Maybe I'll try it out some day...
But then again, shutterlag is not an issue when working with the *ist D, IMHO. This is one of the reasons I switched from my very nice SONY DSC F717.

It's short enough that I'm not aware of a lag time. On less expensive digital cameras it can be quite noticeable. Joe
