Thanks Unknown, I was talking about response time. My old cameras were not autofocus, so I never had to deal with the lag time. I will try the prefocus routine.
Ah - your experience would have been to first focus the lens - then wait for the moment and trip the shutter -
so you definitely would not have tried to focus the lens set the exposure, only when you saw the action, and try to take the pic.....
Digicams are no better - they can focus a LOT faster than any manual focus - but still takes some finite time.
I had an early Canon A5Zoom (0.7Mp) that I think had a mailman who did not know the address - so the total delay felt like weeks as opposed to seconds and I really had to use pre-focus, otherwise I would not got any shots at all - I think a still life would have moved by then.....
Well my daughter decided to throw me a curve and go with a Fuji Finepixs S700 7.1 MP Digital Camera mainly because of its 10X Optical zoom. At the end it was between the Fuji or the Canon Powershot 590. There was a lot of good information and suggestions provided by members here and I really appreciate all the input that was so kindly provided.
