This weekend while taking lots of shots in varying lighting conditions (in a museum) I noticed that was taking a LOT of time - up to 5-6 seconds - to write to the SD card before I could take another shot. I had not had (or noticed) the problem before.
Back home I did some experimenting. Thinking it might have something to do with the size of the SD card - 2 Gig - I changed back to the 1 Gig I had used previously, but same thing. Then I noticed that the problem seemed to only happen with shots taken in relatively low light requiring open aperature/slow shutter & flash; in outdoor ambient light it is ready to go nearly instantly.
Camera is a Canon Powershot A540; SD cards are SanDisc & Kingston.
Any ideas?
