Shutter Lag / Cycle Times
When you press the shutter release on a camera, there's usually a lag time before the shutter actually fires. This time allows the autofocus and autoexposure mechanisms time to do their work and can amount to a fairly long delay in some situations. Since this number is only rarely reported on, and can significantly affect the picture taking experience, I now routinely measure it.
(I've not yet had time to run my normal timing tests on the SLR/n. I'll perform full tests and post the results after I return from the PMA show. - I can say though, that some of the buffer space limitations of the 14n have been corrected, although the buffer capacity is still only 5 frames when saving RAW + JPEG files, only one frame better than the 14n in that mode.)
