One of the most consistent complaints I get from digital camera owners concerns missing crucial shots, whether it is a mom who can't record her baby's precious smile or a dad having a hard time capturing his son hitting a baseball. Most times, this happens because of shutter lag, the delay between when you press the shutter release button and the time the shutter actually opens. That's also one reason I find the Samsung Digimax L85 compact digital camera so disappointing. My tests show it has the worst shutter lag of any camera I've tested to date.
