This is the bush the bear ran behind while I was focusing my digital camera. This is spot where the pretty girl was when I was focusing digital camera. This the toy the kid was playing with when I was focusing my digital camera. I think I will go out and take some landscape photos now...

Boris,
You, like many others, fail to realize that it takes time to focus and calculate the exposure. Better P&S cameras (Optio S included) have focus/exposure lock. All you have to do is press halfway down just like an SLR. It will achieve focus and exposure and hold it as long as you keep pressure on the shutter button. When the right moment arrives, finish pressing and the picture is taken almost immediately. No shutter lag. Simply a matter of learning how to master the camera. Virtually all P&S cameras have this problem. In fact all AF SLR's have this problem too, but they are a little faster. Even on the *istD, the general technique is to press halfway down, achieve focus lock and then press the rest of the way at the right moment. Try it on your own AF SLR and you'll see what I mean.
HTH,
