For example, quoting from Erwin's review: "In standard operational mode (AF with the display active) the shutter release delay is quite long and the release moment not well defined." and a few lines down, after discussing some ways in which the camera can be made faster, still: "It is no match for the instant response of the M-series (film loading and sensor based), and a certain expertise in anticipation is most welcome to get exactly the shot you want. The more features you activate, the slower the response of the camera becomes."
