PERFORMANCE: Again, almost every camera review I've read and all the
camera's I've checked-out at the local stores seem to have a
performance lag in terms of shutter speed, readiness for the next shot
and the screen/EVF blanking out for what seems like a long time (I'm
sure it really isn't). The speed with which photos can be taken with
digital seems considerably slower than 35mm.

While that was true for many of the older DSLRs (the Canon D30 was very poor
at this), newer models have reduced or outright eliminated this. For
example, the Nikon D70 is instant-on, instant-shoot (no shutter lag), can
shoot 3 shots-per-second at up to 1/8000th of a second at 6.1 megapixels.

Not bad for a $999 camera.

I thank everyone for their advice concerning digital vs. 35mm. You were all helpful.
