Sorry, it's a what camera thread again...

Cheap compact this time (for the in-laws)

They have an Pentax Optio 330 (on my recommendation) and generally like the camera, however the shutter lag is a problem.

What's out there with fast shutter action (ie take the photo quickly when you press the button) that's a simple camera to use (they are both over 60!)

Ideally not too much money as well...

All ideas welcome (apart from the DSLR option - that's too big!)

I know - me neither and I haven't got the time to go to Jessops & play for hours - hence the request here!

Skip to the summary page. There are bound to be a big handful of "highly recommended" cameras within every price range, and an absense of shutter lag is likely to be mentioned in the bullet points.

Alternatively, you could read all the reviews, and I'll come to you for advice when I need advice on a p&s
