steve's digicam reviews usually mentions performance times.

Shooting performance was average. Power-up to first image captured measured about 3.6 seconds. Shutter lag, the delay between pressing the shutter release and capturing the image, averaged 3/10 of a second when pre-focused and 5/10 of a second including autofocus. Shot-to-shot delay averaged 3.2 seconds without use of the flash and 3 - 5 seconds with the flash, depending on subject distance. The A345 has a continuous capture mode, using it I was able to capture 3 frames in approx. 1.8 seconds

side note, have you actually taken the card out of the camera and put it into the psp and been able to view the pictures? if so, that pushes me towards a sony a little more.

also, with the sony dsc-s60, you can get an adapter and put different lenses on it. i probably won't do it that much once i get a real camera, but it's a nice option i guess.

i know there's a lot of sony haters on this board, but they work fine as point and shoot digicams. i've had three in addition to a nikon coolpix and canon G5.

You say it's for taking to concerts. How close to the stage will you be? Because most pocket sized cameras don't have long enough lenses to get you a proper shot of someone on a stage. I just took some concert shots from not too far from the stage(s) and used a 70-210mm zoom, mostly towards the longer end. The typical compact cameras will usually have a maximum reach equivalent to about 120mm on a 35mm film camera, not exactly great but I guess that's workable if you're close enough to the stage.
