The vast majority of waiting time is taken in writing the captured image to
the storage media. You'll notice that the camera is ready much faster when
you set the mode to highly-compressed JPGs, than if you shoot in TIFF mode
at the same resolution, despite the JPG requiring more processing. The
difference is due to the file size.
