The F30 takes around 3 seconds from the time you press the power button until you’re ready to shoot a picture. That’s a bit slow. 
However, the camera has minimal shutter lag, the time between the time you press the shutter button and a picture is recorded. That’s very important if you take pictures of moving objects such as cars, animals and children.
One other pro feature I like is the easy way you get out of the image viewing function. You press a button on the back of the camera to view the images you’ve taken. To get out of image view, you press the shutter button down a bit and, zonk!, you’re back and ready to shoot. My Canon SD700 IS point-and-shoot requires me to turn a dial to view images I’ve taken and then to return the dial to the proper exposure control setting. When I am rushed, I tend to miss the right setting when turning the dial back. So, I especially like the F30’s simple method of escaping image viewing.
