I have been using it since I started using dogital camera. However, there is one lag you can not avoid not matter what. It's the half-pressed to full-pressed. It's usually not a problem but when taking fast moving subject, I have to anticipate the movement before I can take a shot. Sure this is useful.

When I read this, I though: "no way are they going to just mention holding the button half-way down as a tip". I've just done this since I got my first camera. It just seemed obvious. I was really surprised to see how many people this has helped. I guess you can never just assume things, lol! It’s funny how sometimes something can seem so obvious, you think everyone knows.

We DSLR guys do the same thing too. Even though our super fast cameras work well, long lenses do take time to focus. I have stood for several minutes holding the shutter release half down waiting for the "perfect moment" ... and sometimes it never comes or passed while wishing for something better. Oh well ....

I'm a big fan of action shots and have been known among my friends to be the best at getting them, and they always wonder how i get such shots! :) I learned to use this on the Nikon point and shoot i use.

When trying to take pictures of dolphins leaping out of the water along wide your boat, you can't tell when they will jump, so you always have to be ready at the first trigger stop.

Why do those film PnS focus so fast compared to the digital PnS-es? Anyone has an idea? Yeah did this last time, but now I’m wondering.
