Eric, Try this.
Switch on camera and instantly push shutter release. It does not fire instantly.
The start up time is about 150milliseconds. This is near instantaneous but it is not immediate.
Likewise there is a lagtime between shutter release being pushed and shutter firing I think this is 5-15milliseconds depending on the camera.
All this stuff is listed somewhere but I can't remember where!
I agree that the D780 pricing is very high.
I dont use my D850 and Z7 as much as my D800 or Fuji XT3 and XH1. Why? Because the Fuji has just the right amount of 24-26MP and the 30MP of the D800 works very well.
Sorry Jonathan but that is a mind numbingly insignificant duration in the grand scheme of things.
The time it takes the index finger to move from the on switch action to the shutter button is far far longer than that anyway.
Just did a test ... prefocused using the back button and switched off.
Using index finger on shutter button and second finger to switch on power as near simultaneously as I can manage ( bear in mind I am practiced at simultaneous two button actions, getting screen grabs on an ipad 😆). It took the shot 'straight away'....before the bird moved.
I do wonder if those times include the time to focus?
