Canon EOS D30 Digital SLRCanon's first digital SLR packs 3 megapixels of CMOS sensor into a speedy, compact body! (Smallest/lightest digital SLR as of August, 2000)<<Exposure & Flash :(Previous) | (Next): User Interface>> Page 8:Shutter Lag & Cycle Time TestsReview First Posted: 8/27/2000 |
Shutter Lag/Cycle Times
We'll have a more complete set of test figures when we get a little more time
with a final production model D30 a bit later. In the meantime though, we wanted
to provide our readers with at least some indication of the D30's speed. (It's
pretty fast.) Here's the numbers we managed to collect on it in the short time
we had:
|

|
|
|
|
| Power On -> First shot |
|
Time is delay until first shot captured after power-on.
|
| Shutdown |
|
No lens to retract as on consumer units, so effectively instant. Longer, variable time until CF card is done writing.
|
| Play to Record, first shot |
|
Time is delay until first shot captured. VERY fast!
|
| Record to play (max res) |
|
First time is for low-res display, fills-in with full res later.
|
| Shutter lag, full autofocus |
|
Highly lens-dependent. This was minimum for static subject, sequential pictures.
|
| Shutter lag, manual focus |
|
Quite fast, not as fast as D1 or S1 however. |
| Shutter lag, prefocus |
|
No faster than manual focus. (No white balance/exposure until shutter opens.) |
| Cycle Time, full res JPEG |
|
Very Fast |
| Cycle Time, full res JPEG |

Very Fast |
