Unfortunately, the chart referenced seems
to also consider flash recharge, and write to card, times. Not useful
for answering the OP's question.


It does not take flash recharge time, and write to card times into
account.

Look at the times. They are lightning fast for many cameras. Much
faster than a camera can recharge a flash and write to a card. This
comparison is for shutter lag only. The numbers are matched very
closely to the numbers that you would have to manually look up at

Sorry, but the second column of times are for 5 shots. Many of the
cameras listed will not take 5 shots without writing to the card, and
that is obvious in the times.


Then the five shot column reflects the "real world" time of the
particular camera. This hardly make the listing not useful.
