<<A slight repression on the shutter release,
actually focuses the lens...then the final downward part of the
depression releases the shutter.  Thus you can easily "prefocus" on a
point in front of you...and then complete the release of the shutter at
the "decisive moment."  This doesn't take a lot of getting used to.
These two minis are the only ones that I know of that have this
timesless feature.>>

The Nikon Ti cameras and the Ricoh GR-1 also share this feature. On the
Ricoh you can prefocus, push a button and it lock there. It's fumbly, but I
use that feature often.
