>>277871 Every camera has shutter lag. The fastest in existence, the Canon EOS RT, was a pellicle mirror SLR designed for professional sports photographers, clocked in at .008 seconds if everything was set up in advance. Next are the Leica M cameras, with .018.
I use a small-sensor EVF camera (the Panasonic FZ8) for almost all of what I do, and I've never noticed any. DP Review clocks it in a .07 seconds with everything predone and the IS off.
For digital SLRs, the website Imaging Resource tests them for shutter lag. Here's a few samples, chosen pretty randomly except to spread it across the spectrum from consumer to professional:
40D- .061 D80- .083 5D- .078 D300- .057 D3- .045 1D Mk. III- .054 450D- .089 K10D- .107 E-420- .082 E-3- .076 D60- .093 D90- .067
So with IS off (as it presumably was in all their tests) it's slower than the D300, 1D Mk. III, D90, and 40D but faster than the 5D, 450D, K10D, E-420, E-3, D60, and D80. Don't think anyone's ever bitched about the shutter lag on their 5D.
To compare to some more point and shoot models:
Canon S5IS: .074 Ricoh GR-D: .03 (Holy shit, Heavyweather wasn't kidding) Ricoh GX-100: .1 Canon G9: .088 Sigma DP-1: .132 (This one isn't surprising.)
TL;DR As long as you're using proper technique, pretty much all not-fail cameras fire their shutter fast. The speed advantage in DSLRs comes only if you're being sloppy or are autofocusing.
