SLR digital cameras - what to ask before you buy
3. How fast is the digital SLR camera?
Find out how fast the shutter button operates. One of the frustrating things about compact digital cameras is the slow response of the shutter - you push the button down, and it seems to take ages before the pic is actually taken (meanwhile, the bird has flown, or the baby has crawled away...).
You can get digital SLR cameras with fast response times, so that there is significantly less delay between pressing the shutter button and getting the photo taken.
A fast camera will take less time to turn on, and will provide fast continuous shooting when needed.
