Shutter "lag" time: Approximately 55 milliseconds (from half-way to fully depressing shutter button)
Start-up time: 0.15 seconds

I have been looking (half heartedly) for a used digital back for my Mamiya 645AF (at the expense of selling off my LF gear). Now that the 1Ds III is here and the specs are out, I think I might replace my entire kit of DSLR, MF and LF and get this...Given that it will be 14-bits (same as MF digital backs) I can't see the reason for getting a second hand digital back with 16MB...
