I knew you would take the shutter lag portion and ignore the part of the article that talked about what was important. That was just an article I found quickly supporting my argument.

no it talked about about shutter lag AND it talked about the transfer of the image to the buffer which takes some aspect of video processing, the more you talk the more I realize you really don't know how a digital camera works.

simple matter is this. All the sensor does is gather the light. after that the reading of this light has to get PROCESSED and stored into the buffer. The faster this happens, the quicker the shutter can work.

all the sensor does convert the light into an electronic signal so it can be analyzed.

The process of a digital camera is light hits sensor, sensor makes a signal signal is processed and sent to buffer, buffer is cleared (and image is compressed) and stored to slower media.


*edit* after reading more technical specs and re-afirming what I originally was talking about. I go back to calling shenanigans on you.
