If that is turned off in the settings menu, and auto focus mode set to anything but face priority, the start up time is significantly reduced. A rough estimation is about 2 seconds from the time you push the power button until your first picture is recorded on the memory card.

I am in the process of buying a digital camera because my previous camera, Nikon L15, broke last week. I have been doing alot of research within 4 days. This time around, I am looking for a better quality camera ($180 - $250) but the more I read many reviews from many websites, I am more confused on which camera is best. When I think I have decided on which camera to go with, I find other reviewers with negative comments then I am back to square one. The three manufacturers that interest me are: Nikon, Canon, and Olympus(which I am not sure if I want to go with a different SD card size). In your conclusion, you wrote: "The Coolpix S640 excels at taking casual snapshots in well-lit conditions but for the same money (or slightly more), you can find something that does better with fewer/smaller compromises." What are your other suggestions, please? My main requirements would be: ~ photo quality (of course) ~ quick photo shots between photos ~ 5X optical zoom, at least ~ silver camera at least (maybe another color) Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Kathy Hi there,
