New Gadget

Chris went out and bought us a new snapshot camera yesterday, a Sony DSC T5. We finally got annoyed with our old digital camera's inability to take candid shots. You always want to get that quick shot of people smiling naturally, before they realize you are pointing a camera at them, but the camera itself needs to have the shutter button held down for maybe 2 whole seconds before it takes the shot. Two seconds is a really long time. When summing the shutter lag speed of one shot and five shots, it wins out as the festest digital camera available today. It takes one shot in 0.14 seconds and five consecutive shots in 4.78.

We are pretty happy with it so far.

Because of the lag and the shitty overexposure do to a nuclear flash, I got one too:

I have also learned that one of the limiting factors is the speed of your media card. I got a Turbo SD and a regular SD and the Turbo is much much faster.
