The digital shutter lag is something I was never able to overcome. By
the time the camera had figured out that it was taking a picture, the
moment was over. Now I use digital for primarily still/staged shots. If
I capture "a moment" in digital, it is more often accidental, as opposed
to a mechanical shutter which one could anticipate and depend upon.

As to "over-shooting": even holding down the shutter-release does not
guarantee capture of Cartier-Bresson's "decisive moment", that exact image
one hopes for, and which can occur even at the interstices of 6fps rambo
shooting.
Catching the "decisive moment" with a digital camera is especially
challenging due to over-long shutter lag. (I never said everything about
digital photography was better.)
