What camera do you use?

What I found when I used compacts, is that it would take the photo about one second after I pressed the button. So it was a case of guessing where the car would be 1 sec after I pressed the button!
It's a panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 - really nice camera for what it's designed for (compact superzoom travel camera)

But yeah, the delay before taking the shot, and the lack of direct manual control over focus or some settings does kind of drag a bit.

Nevertheless, I'm getting better at out-witting it's AI... Man vs Machine!

Cheers,
Ty
