...and this is the "new media". Love or hate the man, it's very odd Slashdot would exclude the candidate with the most numerous and enthusiastic internet support. Ron Paul is news for nerds way more than the rest of the schmucks.
I will agree with you on that for Canon cams except those with the new DiGiC II system. I've got a Canon Digital Elph SD400 and it is lightning fast. You can go from powered down to first shot in just a few seconds (sorry, don't have exact times, but it is really fast). Auto focus is fast, clicking around menus is fast, reviewing pictures is unbelievably fast. Only thing that seems to take a bit sometimes is charging the flash.
I've had several earlier Canon models and speed was always my biggest complaint. They appear to have overcome that in their newer models, though!
I LOVE my Elph; it's absolutely tiny (put it in your pocket and forget about it), takes great pictures, and although it has a proprietary battery, they are available for cheaper than a set of rechargeable AAs on eBay.
