Oh, I see. Well here is what I said. Probably wasn't useful then and
probably won't be now, but here it is anyways -

Here is some info on the timing of that camera.

The shutter release lag is tiny. Perhaps it is the focusing mechanism that's
creating the problem, as the review indicates? Does it have continuous focus
mode? That may reduce the focusing time, though it will increase battery
use. I don't see any mention of it in the review. Otherwise, I can't see why
it is taking so long from button press to shutter movement. It should be
pretty quick.
