Is the Canon Powershot A70/A75 too slow?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.dcameras (More info?)

Is there an issue with the canon powershot being too slow? Where does the
delay occur --- between when you turn it on and it lets you shoot? Or
between when you push the shutter-release and it actually opens the shutter?
Just how long are these delays?

I would pay a little extra and get a faster camera. The A75 is old
technology, but a great camera. It being slow between shots and
between on and first shot is its only weakness in my opinion.

The newest camera just being released are faster and worth the extra
money.

Not just HP. All of the older digital cameras suffer from that.

The newer camera are much faster.
