I was referring to point-and-shoot digital cameras that have the lag.
It's good to know that DSLR's don't have this issue, but until their
price gets down to a more reasonable level, I'll have to wait. Thanks
for the clarification.

Are we talking DSLR's or point and shoot Digitals?
With a DSLR, the shutter lag is practically non-existent. I shoot with
a Nikon D70 DSLR that I use for everything from sports, racing,
weddings, fires, etc.
With a point-and-shoot digital, the shutter lag can be very frustrating.
I used one every now and then and have found you have to anticipate the
shot - get the focal point preset and wait for the action to come to
you. Of course it's easier for racing photography than for a football
game. :-)

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.
