With flash, and focus from my pocket I can get it to just over 5 seconds. Without the flash I'm at a shade over 3 seconds like Andy. Once pre-focused I am also able to continue to take pictures at what feels like 2fps (without flash) which I think is quite impressive, and one of the things I loved the most while doing the little fashion shoot with it.

Over all it's an impressive bit of technology that is my pocket where ever I go, and I never forget to have it with me. No compact camera can beat it on that score!

Edit - I should also point out that the camera app wasn't already running when working out those timings, so included opening the app itself.

Cheers
