Any idiot knows that there's a delay from the time that one presses the shutter release, to the time that the shutter deploys. I'm simply saying that the numbers are meaningless ~to me~. Milliseconds are so small as to be abstract. I know what a cameras lag time is by using it, and feeling it. But, if someone says that a certain camera has a lag time of 50 milliseconds, that doesn't mean a thing. More to the point, if someone says that another camera has a lag time of 55 milliseconds, I'd submit that the difference in those two times is so small as to be meaningless in the real world. But do lag times exist? Of course. Do they mean something to some people? Obviously, otherwise, we wouldn't have this thread. cheers, frank Mike Quinn wrote: > Of course it's denial. > > It's sad to see people so threatened by numbers that they deny the existence > of the things that the numbers measure... > > Mike Quinn > > LRZeitlin wrote: > > > 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.
