I suspect that Memorex and Fuji are roughly the same quality. The more important question would be whether you want to use +RW or -RW. They are handled differently as to recording, rerecording, and...

I have a 403 model. There's definitely a longer shutter lag than with newer digicams, but I would classify it as 0.5 to 1 second. Longer than that and it must be having trouble finding a sharp...
