I currently own an Olympus digital camera vintage 2004. I hate how long it takes between shutter press and actual photo taken. My various film SLR's seem lightening fast in comparison.

I am looking to get a much quicker camera, and am willing to pay for minimal shutter lag.

The Canon G9 appeals to me in price and features, however, it shows a full half-second delay in bright light, and more than one second in low light.

Is an SLR the only way to go?

Feel free to speak in old-school photography terms in your answer- I have been using cameras in one form or another for nearly forty years.

Within reason, price is not an object- though I'd like to keep the price under 1500 dollars.

Thanks for any responses...
