No kidding! >So much for trying to capture the decisive moment. The T4 is the ultimate decisive moment camera. I press the shutter release, and the camera decides on the moment ;-). I brought this up with the local Kyoyaschicontacerica rep as the single most important change that I'd want to see in the T6, and he refused to acknowledge that shutter lag is a problem. Actually, he was a bit rude about it. Of course, I had an M6 with 35 Summilux ASPH on my shoulder... perhaps he sensed where my true loyalties lie? ..........................................................................
