The biggest complaint we have with our camera is the lag time between depressing the shutter button and the time the picture actually takes [upwards of 2 to 3 seconds] even with fresh batteries. I would ask the store clerk if you could test this out with fresh batteries of your own so you can check out this feature. And shoot moving targets as well as in normal to below normal lighting.
