"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!"
Then why not have NBC make a joint venture with the BBC to expand "Top Gear" to cover both areas in the same show? Let the Beeb show it there and NBC show it here?
Unfortunately, I'm sure that the BBC's agreement with Discovery, who owns BBC America, is the major sticking point for NBC wanting a U.S. version.
