There are a few things you can do in some instances to make your camera trip the shutter faster. The camera is spending time trying to calculate, shutter speed, focus, etc.. If you can set the exposure manually, you shorten the time the camera takes to do that. In some cases the exposure doesn't change from shot to shot so you can set it and forget it. Next, if the camera has a manual focus mode and it is easy enough use, then you can use that in cases where you know the focus point. Say you're shooting your kids baseball game. The play is going to be at second base. Manually focus on second and wait for the action to happen there. If you set the focus and exposure ahead of time, the camera will trip very quickly. It takes a bit of thinking for a while, but there are lotsof cases where you can preset focus and exposure and then catch the action. Your other option is to spend $800+ on a camera body. The more you spend the less the lag time.
