I want a camera.
I want a phone.
I'd be happy with a camera phone, but I need something that is quick to react to me asking it to take a photo - I want something quick.
The K8xx series seems slow. How do others fair? Do I have to buy a separate digital camera?

A DSLR will give you the speed you need. Point and Shoots tend to be slow. Auto-Focus also tends to slow things down.

My Canon IXUS 860 IS takes less than three seconds from switching it on until it's ready to shoot.

Thanks for the info
3 secnods is too slow. I think I better find a real shop to try them out other than onlnie like I usually do for electronics

I have a Canon IXUS 950 and its pretty quick
according to this article
http://www.cnet.com.au/digita[....]s/0,239036184,339278386,00.htm
The IXUS 950 IS took 1.2 seconds to start up and capture its first JPEG. Subsequent JPEGs took 1.7 seconds between shots without flash but slowed significantly to 3 seconds between shots with the flash turned on.

d-SLR cameras are the fastest out there. They can power up at 0.2 seconds, and some can shoot up to 11 fps in full resolution (the really high-end ones, that is). 'Normal' ones can do 3-5 fps in full resolution.

My Sony α700 (Alpha DSLR) is up and running in .2 of a second - if you want a fast startup, as Mizzle said - its really only DSLR's that will give this speed you crave.

I dont think he is talking about the camera start up time. He's probably talking about shutter lag

Yeah I think QVGA is right.

Well that's what I thought he meant. He wants a camera that doesn't take so long between pressing the shutter button and actually taking the picture.

Granted, he may be talking about Shutter lag, but even then - your talking DSLR territory..
