I said 2 seconds from totally powered down to ready to take a shot. If the camera is powered up then I can take bursts of something like 15 shots in a second.
Ah, okay. I was reading too fast to fully comprehend. 15 shots a second is awfully good.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

When you make the move into DSLR territory then you can get that sort of fast shutter release. In some of the manual modes you can also either force it to hold the initial focus, or do a tracking shot so that it is adjusting the focus between each of the burst shots. This is very handy in fast shooting when the object of your shot is moving towards or away from you. It's also important to look at the number of focal points the camera uses as well as how you can adjust these focal points.

Bellybutton day to Noah and Grace!
I just bought my DSLR, but it makes me feel awkward with how big and touristy it is. I didn't even bring it on this trip, because it would've taken up too much room in my luggage, and might've been stolen. I considered that when I bought it but didn't realize quite how ridiculous I'd feel with it

That's why I have a DSLR and also have a very good very small point and shoot. The DSLR is great when you are willing to carry the big camera, but the best camera in the world is the one that you have on you.

Happy birthday Noah and Grace!
So I have finally joined everyone in the 21st century: I got an iPhone. Does anyone have any apps they can recommend? I don't even know what I'm going to need, yet.
