theyre the same price..but i just cant decide which one? i will be using it mostly to record videos (i go to a lot of gigs) and taking pictures..ok truth is i already have the first one with me...BUT i was thinking of exchanging it for the 2nd one because of the ANNOYING shutter lag!

thanks a lot! :D

Hi,

I have been shooting for over 25 years.  the problem that you will have is that shutter lag is a major problem with cameras that cost $ 100.00 American Dollars. I'am not shure how many american dollars this would be? but looking at the price of each camera it sounds to me that both of the cameras are on the cheep side and both will have slow shutter lag. If it were my money I would spend at least $350.00 to 400.00 U.S. Dollars on a digital SLR and tou will see shutter lag for the most part will go away. Look in to Cannon or Nikon.

Thank You,

Bob
