Looking into new digital cameras

[IronGland]

Hi. I currently own a Samsung S630 which I'm very satisfied with. But as time has passed one thing I really wish this camera would have is a better reaction time when taking pictures. Sorry, I'm not familiar with camera jargon. Is there any camera that anyone here can recommend me that is quicker at taking pictures? Preferably for an affordable price. Or perhaps are there any tricks to help my camera take pictures sooner?

Thank you in advance

If you can turn off the automatic features; focus the camera manually, and set the exposure manually, and set the white balance, then you will get the minimum shutter lag. That's the time from pressing the button until the camera takes the picture.

The less work the camera has to do in focussing, working out the white balance and the exposure then the quicker it will take the picture.

Last month I just got this Sony CyberShot DSC-W55 for my little niece, it's on sale for only $140 at a deal site, i'd say for the money, a great purchase, technology is amazing.
Keep this camera charged and handy, and you'll find you take a lot of pictures because it's easy to carry and easy to use!
