I'm using an Olympus 3040 with a 256 Sandisk card. The delay from the 
time I press the shutter until the picture is actually taken is 2-3 
seconds. This is unacceptable since the action is usually passed by the 
time the picture is taken.

Is there any way to shorten this delay?
Any assistance would be appreciated. This is driving me crazy.

Also, are there any other cameras that have a minimal shutter delay (I 
don't necessarily need more than 3 megapixels)?
