Doc Harry:It's the lag after you get the photo that bugs me. For an 8-megapixel photo is takes about 10+ seconds to write to the image to the SD card.
Correct me if I'm wrong: but I believe there are SD cards available which offer faster transfer speeds. So some SD cards record the image quicker than others. These are of course, quite expensive.
There are two specifications; 1.01 with a max speed of 66mhz and specification 1.1 with a max speed of 133mhz
That would help alleviate your lag time. 10 seconds is excessive. Especially for wildlife photography.
