Re: [Killietalk] Digital camera question

[Charles Harrison <charles at inkmkr_com>]

I have a Sony Mavica MVC-FD88. It's a 1.3 megapixel zoom 
capabilities, and so forth, but we are thinking about getting a 3.1 
or 6 megapixel upgrade. Looking around and reading the information 
that Wright and a lot of others have been throwing around here on the 
list, I have come to the realization that some of these cameras have 
a terrible shutter lag. One pushes the buttom and counts to 3 and the 
shutter trips. This Mavikca of ours trips the moment you press the 
button or maybe there is a portion of a second lag. I've never missed 
a fish or a shot because of the shutter lag. This old camera makes a 
15-second movie. Any other of these cameras have a very, very short 
shutter lag and can record a short MPG movie?

Which manufacturers of cameras avoid this shutter lag? I'm quite 
satisfied with what we get out of this one but I would like to get 
one with a USB connection and a 3.1 megapixel CCD.
any comments?
