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!"
How much stretch-o-vision though? Do you really want upconverted and distorted aspect ratio "pseudo-HD", or do you want REAL 100% HD channels like HDNet or HDNet Movies? Call Comcast and demand REAL HD for your premium HD dollar!
