If you recall, I wrote "If we know ourselves and our equipment well and have a familiarity with the sport, we can largely compensate for the lag but it is wise to know what delay we can expect in trying to catch that decisive moment." I don't know why you guys object to knowing that the camera doesn't take a picture the instant you decide to press the shutter. Denial perhaps?
