My not particularly cheap at the time Kodak DC215 takes more than 3
seconds to be ready for the next shot.  And sometimes it takes
forever from the time you press the button until it actually takes
the picture.

And the camera acts like it a pretty low ISO.  Like maybe 200ASA or
less, from my high untrained observations.

Attaching a filter should take care of the artifacts, but doing so
would probably mean hacking it up to make it fit.
