Digital Camera Shutter

Anyone know of a digital camera without a shutter delay?
I am so sick of all these digital cameras which wait as long as 2 seconds between when I press the shutter button and when the camera actually takes the picture! Aren't there any digital cameras that don't have that delay for normal or portrait shooting?
The cameras you're complaining about are either a few years old or cheaply made. But don't worry -- you can do much better these days!
In the lower price range, you have a few options for cameras without shutter lag.
Fujifilm is probably the best value, speed for money. The Fujifilm Finepix F20 can go up to ISO 2000, which means it's very fast! I use it and have yet to experience shutter lag in good lighting. And if I can often get sharp (not blurry) pictures at night too! You can find it for $120 on ebay. Newer versions -- like the F50 -- sell for more in brick-and-morter shops.
The least expensive camera I know of that doesn't have noticeable shutter lag is the Nikon Coolpix L10. Its ISO up to 800 is good for daylight and indoor situations. Wal-Mart has it for $90. The newest version, the L18, is better at night and sells for $140 on Amazon.
In the upper price range -- say, above $200 -- many cameras will satisfy you. For best results, stick with newer models from these brands: Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm, and Sony.
By the way, megapixels (resolution) have nothing to do with speed. In fact, excessive megapixels can slow down a camera's processor. And since you only need 5 or 6 MP to decently print a poster, buying a camera just because it's 8 MP isn't really worth it.
If you are concerned with speed, check the camera's maxiumum ISO (shutter speed) instead. Anything above 800 is decent, anything above 1600 is great.

Digital SingleLens Reflex Camera $101.96 A digital singlelens reflex camera (digital SLR or DSLR) is a digital camera that uses a mechanical mirror system and pentaprism to direct light from the lens to an optical viewfinder on the back of the camera. The basic operation of a DSLR is as follows: for viewing purposes, the mirror reflects the light coming through the attached lens upwards at a 90 degree angle. It is then reflected twice by the pentaprism, rectifying it for the photographers eye. During exposure, the mirror assembly swings upward, the aperture narrows (if stopped down, or set smaller than wide open), and a shutter opens, allowing the lens to project light onto the image sensor. A second shutter then covers the sensor, ending the exposure, and the mirror lowers while the shutter resets. The period that the mirror is flipped up is referred to as viewfinder blackout. A fastacting mirror and shutter is preferred so as to not delay an action photo. All of this happens automatically over a period of milliseconds, with cameras designed to do this 310 times a second.
