Hi Marcus,
I just wanted to chime in that at least some SLR Digital cameras on the market have no perceptable shutter delay at all! I don't mean to say they have no shutter delay, but that it just is not humanly perceptable.
I purchased my Nikon D-100 three years ago when it was advertised as being the original pro-sumer camera of its kind with no effective shutter delay. That was a
huge selling point for me!
I can report that in the field and daily use over the past three years, those claims are absolutely true. I have taken over 90,000 pictures with it and any time it was of a moving object, it was captured just as it was anticipated with my shutter activation.
The only delays I get are with the memory buffer after seven continuous high speed shots (or taking a picture of a black object in the shadow, at midnight!). Some newer SLR digitls are significantly improved in that regard. But hey, I'm not really shooting movies, so that does not affect me so much.
Regards,
Garth
PS: Here's an example of good shutter timing without delay (probably mostly dumb luck). I have never even seen this flame in real life. Straight photography from my Nikon D-100 (no Photoshop).
And another!
