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!"
I had one of these but returned it... There is indeed absolutely NO way to get multi-channel sound out of it even with an HDMI A/V receiver (and the silly thing claims to be HDMI 1.3 capable as well!). I tried and tried (even called Samsung) only to find out that it just can't be done (not even with a future firmware update from what they told me on the phone). It seems completely absurd that Samsung would build a "Media Center" extender with no way to output surround sound for all of your HD TV shows. D'oh!
