Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"We need a digital camera that can be switched on and fire off that first shot fast. It's not a commonly tracked statistic on any review site, and nobody seems to have this information for every camera. We were hoping other readers could inform us as to what small digital cameras can fire off their first pics in under a second (ideally under half a second). It needs to be small, but mostly, just really quick in operation. Thanks!"
Can't say about Seinfeld, but we're slowing getting the Star Treks out in HD for syndication. Frasier too, as well as a couple of others that are escaping my memory right now...
Yes TBS "HD" is terrible. TNT HD does the same except the stretch the edges to fit. The center is not stretched so it gives you a headache to watch.
One of my biggest complaints about syndicated shows is the college football and basketball broadcaster for the SEC and ACC, Lincoln Financial Sports. They film games in SD because it's syndicated - they have no immediate plans to change, which totally sucks.
