Cameras/Digital Point & Shoot cameras

Question
I'm frustrated with the time delay between pressing the picture button and the actual picture being taken. Are there any reasonably priced ($200-$300) digital point & shoot cameras that take picture instantly? I presently have a Canon A60, and take a lot of "kid pictures". I prefer Nikon and Canon.
Steve,
Unfortunately it is in the nature of P/S cameras to have some delay (shutter drag). And while cameras are a little faster than they were when your A60 was made, it is not "instant". For that you will have to buy a higher grade camera.

Expertise
I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.
