God, the SX120 is slow

I wanted a pocket cam to carry around when I'm too lazy to bring the XSi
(something a bit better than the A720, but with a bit better pics), so I
picked up a Canon SX120. It seems to take relatively good shots, but God is
it slow.

I'm not exactly a fast shooter, still, even I have to wait for that 6++
seconds recycling time while the flash powers up.

Also, I'm not all that impressed with the controls. It's going to take a
while to work out a way to use that silly thumb wheel.

But, it's a challenge...

Take Care,
