Annoying shutter lag on E300 or E500???

Sorry about that, but I don't know why my previous message has the title truncated...

On occasion, the auto focus lags, but that is usually my fault when I don't find a vertical line for it to focus on. Once focus is locked, shutter is immediate.

Don't know about anyone else, but my E-500 is very responsive all the time, except for user error. It is probably the most responsive camera I have used, but then I come from the 'old days' that a lot of folks today don't remember. The camera's speed outpaces my own reflexes. Guess they could make faster cameras, but it wouldn't do me any good.

No discernable shutter lag with my E-300. In fact, that's one of the reason's it's such a joy to use after being frustrated by my P&S which never seems to want to take a picture at the moment I want it to.

used to own a regular canon elan SLR, and i feel like my e500 shutter is just as fast or faster... no problems...

What they may be talking about is focus lag or something else, but it's not true shutter lag in the sense that word is used with digicams.

My guess is that whoever did the artiicle had inadvertently activated either the 2sec timer or the Antishock (mirror lock) and was so inept that they didn't realize it or know how to turn it off. My wife accidentally enabled the mirror lock on her first time using the camera while exploring the menus and didn't know what was wrong until I returned home from work.
She was a bit frustrated to say the least and didn't like the camera at all.

Chalk this one up to the Moron operating the camera and tell the idiots who wrote the article to READ THE FREAKIN MANUAL!
