Just a thought DX cameras have smaller mirrors and shutter curtains to accelerate, not that it probably makes a blind bit of difference.
Now if you want to experience shutter lag, try photographing leaping dolphins with a Canon S95. I have so many frames of dolphin tails, it's embarrassing.

Quote: Thanks for your comment Mike. Do you really mean to say that all modern DSLR's have the ability to work and capture sporting action as long as the operator using them has the ability to anticipate the action.We're not talking here about frame rates of the Gatling gun variety. It's all about that very first response. Somehow I find that hard to believe. I just wouldn't feel that confident of backing a Nikon 3200 up against a Nikon D4 getting that very first frame of the ball right on the head of Wayne Rooney about to put the ball into the back of the net in the final in Rio. Cheers.

Yes that is exactly what I'm saying.

But this assumes we are talking about shutter lag as your original comment. If you are taking focussing into account then its a whole new world dependent on lighting levels, camera, lens etc etc.

Fast reactions and good hand/eye co-ordination by the user seem more important to me than tiny differences in measured shutter lag
