Re: [AFMUG] OT: Digital Cameras
I just got a new SD Card thinking that may have been the problem. But it still acts the same. Like 1-2 seconds between pictures.

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Digital Cameras
I don't really consider the Powershot cameras "point and shoot".
My SO had a regular point-and-shoot Canon that she liked except that it ate
batteries like candy.
Then I got a real simple Panasonic that I really liked because I didn't
have to think about nearly anything.
So she replaced her Canon with a different Panasonic. It's built-in zoom
goes to 20 I think, and she really likes it.It's a lot simpler to operate
than any Canon that I've used.

Out of curiosity have you just tried an SD card of a high class like 10 that has better read/write speeds.
