| Do some cameras have a setting for this? i think its a good thing when your in manual mode because even on a tripod i can bump the whole camera and sumtimes use the timer so i know the camera is stable when the shot is taken. If i was shotting action i may want the shot to snap when i push it but for stationary objects i think i prefer a delay after i push it to then relax before it shoots. |

Mine Canon has a timer. If I use the one on the camera itself, it goes for 10 seconds but if I use the remote I can switch it to 2 seconds. All the P$S cameras I've had gave a choice for either 2 or 10 seconds on the camera.

There are several choices - most common with a camera on a tripod is to use a 'cable release' or a wireless release - these are basically buttons on a bit of wire (or wireless) that fires the shutter when you press a button, but you don't push the camera any more - avoiding the shake.
A 2 or 10 second timer does work, but if you are trying to time it with some action, you'll usually miss.
High cameras do let you vary the shutter delay from pressing the button to the shutter firing in finer steps than a traditional timer. For example, my 1DII lets me slow down the shutter firing because it can be too fast for some people (! :) ) |

| Mine do have a delay, i didnt know because it is called "drive mode" there is continious shoot, 2, 10 and preset delays. I usualy just need the 2 second. Its like a timmer mode but there are no beeps its like a quiet timmer mode. sneaky mode... :D |
