The half shutter press is still sucky. If you have to do a half press or get no SR, I do not like it. I would rather have the option of turning on the SR in advance and being able shoot without any half presses needed. If the SR works properly, why wouldnt you use it all the time if it had no annoying side effect drawbacks ? ? ? ? ? ? ? jco

It seems to come up in less than a second. I think that by the time you've framed and focused, you'll have SR as well. And of course, you really only need it in daylight when shooting with long lenses.
