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!"
is this any surprise?
The electronics manufacturers have balked at offering BD Recorders so consumers can even backup programs from their cable/Sat DVR's. so why would they try to offer up BD recorders to let those of us with kids burn a copy to keep our originals safe?
