"I think it's less 'record time' and more 'auto focus time'."

The autofocus is instantaneous on my Fuji S1, just as quick as my 35mm Nikon N-90s. The processing, or record time, is another matter. When set on TIFF mode (+20 megs per photo!!), the record time is quite long! My cheapo Sony Mavica does hunt around a bit before locking focus and is slow to process as well.

Another huge issue with digitals is batteries. Many companies are making big improvements with their latest offerings. But I think the Sony InfoLithium's are still KING on this issue. My S1 with Speedlight takes 8 AA batteries, 2 Lithium CR123A's and 1 button cell! I typically need to install all new batteries (except the button cell) every week. I do use it professionally on a daily basis though. -- Curt
