No delay shutter

[itten]

I'm looking for a digital camera that has a fairly quick response to
the shutter. Due to the nature of my work, I need to get a few shots
off fairly quickly and dont have time to wait for the camera to cycle
to be ready to take the next shot. Does any one have any ideas? Also
I'm tired of these super small cameras that I need a magnifing glass to
read the find the controls. I wan't something fairly hefty but I don't
want to pay an arm and a leg for it.

Hi Itten,

Others may know more but of the cameras I've handeled /recently/ that
being 8 or 10 of the "most popular" under $400, I've /felt/ that the
quickest (in full auto) was the Minolta F-x00 series. They are for
sure faster than most of the others.

But the F-x00 series of which I speak are pretty small.

I just bought a Minolta dimage f300 (on the net, 2 3rds of the high
street price) & it has a UHS mode, shoots 11 frames a second!
Don't know if this is the sort of work you're doing, but it does work
OK.

I'm kinda leaning toward that model. Where did you find it at that price:
ie a link to the site?
