Ultra compact camera around $200 with minimal shutter lag ?

Any recommendations out there for an ultra compact camera with minimal shutter lag? I would like to stay around $200 or less. Thanks!

Most Ultra Compact cameras start at about $300.

However the price of the Sony W30 has dropped and if you shop around you can find the W30 for under $200.

The shutter lag on the W30 is 0.3 second which is about as good as it gets.

Image quality and lens sharpness is very good on the W30.

I was going to suggest the Sony W50 - they are very fast and even has high ISO capabilities and a viewfinder which is a rare commodity these days, all in a tiney package. Check forums like fatwallet dot com as Dell is having a sale on them right now I believe
