Google Nexus 5

Erm, if the lighting is stable then quick. If there is light variation then it takes a moment or two to adjust before snapping. Faster than my N4 though. Of course it's difficult to say without comparators, perhaps someone can give their opinion compared to a G2 or a S4.

I wonder if it is worth while to ask the guys at Camera FX if they can introduce a shutter lag setting
 
Don't know what the fuss is about with regards to the battery life on this phone. After a full day at work I am sitting at ~ 50%. This is on par with what I was getting from my Note II. Granted I don't use my phone extensively when at work, but still...

its not possible it would require changes at HAL Level there is no Exposed ZSL API on the nexus 5 AFAIK i know the best way would /Shutter Lag-Less way would be to dump live preview frames which would cap it at 1920x1080.
 
U do know that the 5 will more than likely be the first android device to get RAW images right ? Can't wait for those

Lol From what i understand Android is divided into 4 Layers/Levels
APP Level APKS - What most people see and interact with
Framework Level - Interacts with APP and HAL Kinda like a bridge
HAL Level - Lower Level/Native C++ Interacts with Kernel and Framework some times APP in the form of JNI
Kernel Level - Lowest Level Drivers etc

The HAL Level Contains the Camera HAL think of it as the driver it exposes API's eg on the LG G2 it exposes Manual Focus Zero Shutter LAg Super Zoom etc however on the Nexus 5 Camera Hal the Zero Shutter Capture Mode is not Exposed meaning Apps cannot use so No matter what app on the APP Level you use theres nothing one can do. I see this alot people using different camera apps to improve quality usually all they do is have less compression but at the end of the day it's still the same same camera hal.

As for the last thing The CameraPreview what you see on the view finder/screen can be used to dump current viewed frames therefor making it sorta like zsl since its just dumping frames that are already in the buffer. Hope that makes sense

If I understand this correctly, it is software based and not hardware based. So the problem is solvable. Might need root, but solvable.

Pretty much the same problem we had with the stock android for the galaxy s4 non Google edition...no matter what happened there was no HAL source released meaning that no app could fix the issue until the apps are told how to handle that specific process
