How is the response time for startup and shooting? I am really tempted by this camera (particularly since it can be adapted to so many lenses I already own), but the two off-putting things are (1) that it doesn't have an optical finder (at least one that you could use simultaneously with a flash) and (2) the possibility that it will grunt and stutter like a pocket camera when you jam that shutter button down (at least the GRDII now seems to have shutter release priority in its current FW....). What's your impression of the general responsiveness?
