Like many auto-focus cameras (as opposed to fixed focus, as per many
consumer cameras), most of that is focus time. Half-depress the shutter
button to focus and then the full press to take the shot is pretty
quick, which is the same as many real-film autofocusing cameras.

To be honest, my Sony digicam isn't *that* much slower than my real-film
Canon EOS with anything but USM lenses.

/me takes more photos of children than of anything else.
