What is the time delay on the Sony cyber shot 5MP


Help! I am getting ready to buy a new digital camera and want my next one to have little to no time delay. This is a big pet peeve of mine. I am not a professional but like to take tons of pictures of my family and such for a hobby. I want a easy to use, great photo quality, little time delay, and not too pricey (say under $600) digital camera. I was looking at a Rebel but I think it is more then what I need. What about the Sony Cyber shot? Or any other suggestions? Thanks, Amber

  Which Sony CyberShot 5mp?
H1? see http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydsch1/page4.php
All digital compact cameras that have "live view" in the LCD are going to have a bit of lag needed to clear the sensor/memory before the shot is taken. With DSLRs the sensor is not used for the viewfinder and are always ready instantaneously.
