Just wondered if digital SLRs are the same, before I consider buying one. My favourite camera is my Canon A1, it's older than God and weighs about 250 pounds, but I love it! Over the years I've used it for some serious macro photography.
It acutually depends on what settings you have the camara on. On autofocus modes you can have shutter delay if your taking pics of wildlife, since the camara seems to have a problem figuring out what to focus on. I've had to take several pics of snakes that were streaking by and was able to get good pics of them with out missing due to shutter delay. I'm still trying to figure stuff out though.....I've been pretty much self teaching my self in photography so I'm still a bit new to this, I don't consider myself an expert.....yet!
