Panasonic Lumix DHC-FH27 Camera

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH27 does, it does quickly. It takes just 2 seconds to turn on and capture an image, and you only wait an average of 2.3 seconds between shots. Both scores are very fast for a compact camera, as is the FH27's 0.4 second of lag between shutter press and image capture. The Nikon S4000 plodded by comparison, with .65 seconds of shutter lag, 3.2 seconds to boot and shoot, and 2.5 seconds of recycle time.
