I agree, Henning.  There are a number of timings I would consider 
questionable.  Such as the EOS-RT at 8ms.   Even without a mirror to raise, 
that's VERY fast!

What amazed me was the large number of cameras with very long times if the 
meter was not pre-set.  Presumably times with auto-focus engaged would be 
even longer!

Cheers!
