Digital Cameras Shutter Lag

The non-digital SLR has the smallest time lag when the flash is off?

I have an old HP digital camera, and am looking to upgrade it. I just want a point and shoot, nothing particularly fancy. My biggest problem with my current camera is that it takes sooooooo long to take a picture when I turn Flash, which distorted the image ends! From what I read here that has to do with shutter lag, but not sure. I do not know much about photography. Other features I'm looking for are:-use SD card-rechargeable battery image stabilization, slim design I do not want an SLR, why not suggest it, I know they are more capable, but they are not what I'm looking for. I just want a camera to take on the stock spontaneous photo opportunities! Thank you.

Shutter lag is a common annoyance. There is also a generally little known, something simple, but important that you need to know how to deal with it. If you read the document installed by "fhotoace" who is buried there. But let's keep it simple … When you take a picture, you must press down half the shutter button and hold it there. When you do what the camera is not autofocus, the part that sometimes it takes sooooo long. Hold button halfway down, then when you start to smile or pose you want, then push the other half way down. Second, pushing down will take the picture almost immediately, very little lag, even with flash. Try it, even with the HP slooooooow age. Shutter lag is the sum of two parts. The first part is the "lag auto-focus, and takes almost all the total delay time, the concentration starts to happen when you hit the half-way down the shutter button. This "lag auto-focus" is the part that is much faster in a kind of SLR camera. The second part is shutter release lag, "the physical part that triggers the shutter and starts recording the image. This second part of the lag lag total is relatively fast for the latest called "point and shoot" cameras. I also included my source that I think that most directly deals with the problem specific. This is an excellent site, but very technical. I'm with you about not wanting to pay and take about a SLR all the time. Some people (I know them) buy an SLR after being so frustrated with his "simple point and shoot" camera and still do not know what the difference is keeping the shutter button halfway can do. I find that when taking pictures of people side by side and can see that I can take a picture just as I want, even pictures on the action of the window (of opportunity) is fast. If you had distorted images before, perhaps because the concentration and time of the shutter took so long that you do not keep the camera stable enough. As far as the Panasonic camera I like, especially for its value and make the list there "delay shutter release" time in their specifications, plus they are fast compared to other cameras in its class. They all have image stabilization (the first company to make this standard on all models) that use SD cards and most have battery and design are very slim. It comes down to like a good camera you want and how small you want to go. Good luck.
