Lag Time Between Shots

Hi Will,

I recently purchased a Minolta Dimage 7i which I believe is the next step up from the 7 but very similar. I've been testing the camera out in preparation for a photo shoot I have scheduled next week: I'm really happy with the results I'm getting from the full resolution TIFF files, but there is a really long lag time between shots! I tried experimenting with RAW files because I was told in a camera store that they would take less time, but they seemed to take just as long, so now I'm looking at the quality level of jpegs because they're so fast.

I am curious to know if you have had any experience with this issue; also, if you are taking manual light readings of your subjects, do you find that the camera is giving an accurate reading, or do you need to adjust for less or extra time (for example, opening up a stop)? I am taking black and white images and using the spot meter.

If you have any advice, it would be great! Thanks!
