I had a couple of Nikon compact Coolpix cameras, but got fed up with the terrible shutter lag — I’d push the shutter button and sometimes the camera would think for seconds before firing. This was mainly in low-light situations. Picture quality was excellent, but the lag was terrible and one of the main reasons I finally upgraded.
My Pentax has the same problem (shutter lag) I hate it. If film was not so expensive now I’d stick with the old Nikon when I wanted to take quality pictures. I really like that old Nikon. I could take the viewfinder off and use it like it was a twin reflex camera. Plus it has a spot and averaging light meter. It was/is a very good camera.
