A matter of terminology. Shutter lag is 'officially' the time it takes
for the shutter to fire when the camera is already focused. John says
this in negligible on the E-20. C.H says sure that's true, after you
halfway push down the realease and the camera finishes focusing. B.D.
says, more or less, "It took forever from the time I framed the shot and
pushed the button until the &$@*# thing took a picture." He further
points out that that is mostly due to slow focusing. He then says that
focusing on the E-1 is much faster than on the E-20.
B.D.'s definition of effective shutter release time seems more practical
to me than shutter lag alone. Others might argue that we have to focus
our MF OMs before pushing the release. Anyway, whatever the definitions,
focus and shoot time is apparently much faster on the E-1 and makes B.D.
very happy. If the special Oly friends now have production models, the
testers should too, and we should see some numerical comparisons pretty
soon.

You say there was shutter lag with the E-20. John H. says there is no shutter lag with either the E-10 or E-20.
Who's right? Or are you both right.
