My Fujifilm Finepix S700 Digital just arrived today. It is my first camera. Overall, I am very pleased. It seems to take very high quality pictures and has a lot of manual features that I could make use of with more practice. However, one thing I was not expecting was the shutter delay (both in manual and auto modes). There is a significant amount of delay between when I depress the shutter button and when the picture is actually taken. It's just enough to get a bit annoying when I'm trying to snap a shot a good facial shot of a dog that never keeps its head still. I've put the camera in high speed shooting mode but that doesn't seem to reduce the delay by that much.
When I bought this camera, I thought the shutter speed was how long it took to take the picture. I saw that the camera had 1/1000 shutter speed so I thought that would be the amount of time between pressing the shutter button and the taking of the picture. However, that is obviously not the case.
How is the speed of a camera measured? How much would I have to spend to get a camera with little or no "delay"? Is what I have described above (the delay) common in digital cameras? Thanks,
