RoyG - I believe the Ricoh Calipo models are advertising low shutter lags, so perhaps you might like to try one of those out and see if it meets your needs.

Hi,

We tried a Ricoh partly because of the 'speed' claims - I strongly recommend against it.

The issues that the camera would either a) not take a photo at all when the shutter was pressed (outdoors in daylight) or b) had a much longer lag than promised (probably due to focusing issues I suspect) and c) could not focus properly in reasonable light (windows with daylight)taking photos of small groups of people - was one set of issues - Like it won't take photos!, but then customer service have told us the camera is working to specification.

We also provided them with 2 CD's of photos taken with their camera, and our little point and click to illustrate the 50-70% out of focus issues with the Ricoh.

We have had point and clicks, compacts, SLR's - developed our own phots...... we will be staying well away from Ricoh!
