Hmm ... some things show that whoever wrote it does not really
know the field:

And a digital SLR reduces shutter lag--the half-second delay after you
press the shutter button--to zero.
================================================== ====================

It may be reduced compared to the digital P&S cameras, but it is
certainly not *zero*. After all, you have to get the mirror out of the
way first -- and stop the diaphragm down. :-)

And -- if you are using autofocus, you have to wait for that to
complete -- except in "sports" mode, I believe.

Enjoy,
DoN.

It sounds more like propaganda then a review!
