Olympus SP-560 UZ review
Reviews After a 2.4-second wait from power-on to first shot, the camera could record a new JPEG every 2.1 seconds with the onboard flash turned off. With the flash enabled, that wait bumped up to 2.5 seconds between shots.

Olympus FE-300 review
Reviews With the flash turned on, that wait bumped slightly to 3.8 seconds. While the 3.6-second wait between shots compares poorly with most other cameras, other 12-megapixel point-and-shoots also tend to be slower than average.

Samsung NV10 review
Reviews With the onboard flash enabled, that wait increased only slightly to 2.3 seconds. After a 3-second wait from power-on to first shot, we could fire off a new photo every 2.1 seconds thereafter with the flash turned off.

Samsung S1050 review
Reviews After a 2.4-second wait from power-on to first photo, we could fire off a new shot just once every seconds. With the onboard flash enabled, that wait ballooned to 4.6 seconds. With our low-contrast target, that time increased scantly to one second...

Nokia N800 Internet Tablet review
Reviews We had a bit of a wait during startup, but more of a concern was our PDF reading test -- not only was a 1MB PDF a little slow to load, we had to wait a couple of seconds every time we moved through the pages of the document and zoomed in and out...

Etymotic ety8 In-The-Ear Bluetooth Earphones review
Reviews It's worth the wait, though -- the sound quality is excellent. Whether you want to wait will most likely be tied into how much disposable cash you have to burn. That finally happened last year, and now several new Bluetooth stereo headphones are...

Ricoh Caplio GX100 review
Reviews More annoyingly, in single-shot mode, you have to wait for the file to save before shooting again -- around two seconds for a high-quality JPEG and up to five for raw. The good news is that images are generally worth the wait.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T20 review
Reviews When we turned the flash on, that wait increased to 2.9 seconds. That means you have to be sure to press the shutter halfway and wait for focus lock (aka prefocus) before capturing your images if you want to be sure to capture an in-focus image.

Sony BDP-S500 review
Reviews We'd really like to see this wait reduced. You should get a PS3, a Panasonic DMP-BD30 or wait until the Sony BDP-S550 arrives. Does it meet the challenge head-on or cower in a high-definition corner? DesignWhy is it so big?

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N2 review
Reviews Even with the flash enabled, that wait increased just 0.2 seconds to 2 seconds. After a 1.4-second wait from power-on to first shot, we could take a frame every 1.8 seconds. First, it put a touchscreen on its 8-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-N1.
