Is there any shutter lag w/dslr cameras? Before I would even consider a dslr I wouldn't even bother with it, if there is any at all. It drives me absolutely up the wall. I started many years ago with slr cameras when we had to use real film & get everything developed and spend thousands of dollars doing so. (OK, I'm older than dirt... in dog years I'm dead!)
Once I got a digital that lag time makes me crazy & it didn't matter what camera it was. I've bought two, fell in love with the digital part, but I really don't enjoy actually using the cameras. And no viewfinders, w/screens on the back that are a total waste when outside in bright light. Every photo is a crap shoot no matter how many you take. Yes, I'm whining!
I've waited & waited for the dslrs, then waited for prices to come down. It doesn't seem prices are coming down very well. There's always that next great model that comes along, ya know!?!?! Price goes back up again. If I knew there was no shutter lag, I might get really interested in taking photos again. It's been a life long passion of mine, since I was a kid. Now it seems I spend most of my photo time scanning old ones & editing.
