based on the previews of the D60 and D100, there should be minimal shutter lag (the D30 had a slightly higher lag, which reportedly has been fixed). EOS1D currently has the lowest shutter lag of all D-SLRs, while the D1 series shutter lag is reputed to be less than 55ms (based on F5 specs, but this is slightly higher/slower than EOS1D).Originally posted by willyfoo
Wow.. nice shots... I wonder if the new D-SLRs are able to reduce their shutter lag and focus fast enough to capture this too...
As for focusing, no comments yet on D60 and D100 - have to wait for the more detailed reviews. A large part of focusing speed also depends on the lens in use (altho the focusing module does play a vital part - in this instance, the D60 may lose out to the D100).
And to be totally fair, can even argue that shutter lag and focusing speed is not the only determinant in taking pics like these ;p . You can take similiar ones with a manual focus camera on an older body - prefocus and anticipation and experience all helps.
