Not exactly.
Yes, the downsampling does take up time to take a shot (approximately 4 seconds using Lumia Camera). Since Lumia Camera is being replaced by Windows Camera and it does not do downsampling, theoretically it should be slightly faster. However, you are still taking 41mp and having to run it through a processor that technically cannot handle 41mp (Nokia had to help write the instruction set to handle it).
It's still going to be slow and in the case of Windows Camera, although I haven't measured it, is only slightly faster at about 3 seconds between shots, but it is also still in beta and performs differently than Lumia Camera. You do have full resolution shots, but it's just.... odd. You would have to try it yourself to see what I mean. Really just wait for the official Windows 10 Mobile to come out and then see how it performs.
Either way, I'm waiting for a 1050 :)
Although I'll probably end up getting the 950 XL when it's released.
