Shutter lag on the P&Ss is a bit of a misnomer; it really appears to be
autofocus lag. If you prefocus, with the better P&S's there is very
little shutter lag. And with some, you only need pre-focus in dim light.

All P&S cameras I have tried have bad shutter lag, whether film or 
digital. Most SLRs do not - whether film or digital.
