So my question about the digital lag is: Do they all do it? Does anyone
know? Do we care? I briefly held the 600L in my hand, pointed it at
something and pressed the shutter. The image locked on the LCD and a red
LED blinked for about 3-4 secinds as the image was downloaded. That of
course is a different lag than what you guys saw. This lag is for image
download to permamnent storage from the RAM buffer.
So, there are 2 lags: focus/shutter/shoot lag and download lag,
correct? The 620L apparently eliminates the latter (salesman quoted 3
fps, Oly says 5 fps) because it has a much larger RAM buffer and can
download in the 'background'.
