Canon PowerShot Pro1

I own both a Canon digital rebel and a sony dsc-f828. They both serve
individual purposes. I like the sony for flexibilty in lcd display viewing
and framing in tight situation however it is not quite as fast as the Canon
in recording images to media. Focusing on either one is fast with the canon
a little faster IMHO. This is however subjective . I've played with the
Canon Pro1 (my dad's)also the new Nikon 8mp and both felt solid and
equivalent to the Sony. I think it gets down to what features and
performance you can live with and which you can't. Afterall if there was one
perfect prosumer digital camera, there would not be 5 different mfg offering
models !!!!!

What you describe is the pause whilst the camera locks in on the
auto-focus - try using the
MF button to lock it before taking the shot (not in auto mode). Use
Program (P) Mode or `Av`
or `Tv` instead of Auto & then select the best settings. You may need to
play around with
the different settings to get the best idea of how to use them.
I use to shot always on Av, sometime I use the Program. Probably I need
just some time to work out the best.


What is it you think is `missing` ?

I don't know.
I miss the same feeling I had with my normal SRL, or probably it is that
I was expecting something faster, I mean I miss the point and shot.

The so called delay last about 1/10th of a second.

Actually it last more, at least on mine.
As it is said on the article, not so good for live action.

This is quite common with Canon, but one gets used to it, no problems with
Nikon.

It's normal in crappy cameras. It's inexcusable in cameras intended
for serious use. I'd never buy a camera with a view freeze problem.

You would not have to be crazy to purchase ANYTHING made by Canon, but it
wouldn't hurt either.

I guess you don't own a digital camera?

Maybe the new retro Epson rangefinder camera?
