It depends. A lag of a fifth of a second is OK for most shots, but for action, candid and street shots you'd want something faster.That Sony DSC-H1 has a shutter time of 0.19secs. Would this do the job?£233.95 online?
(especially when compared to the shots i take of their teenage girls)

Sure, but that 200-ms delay is on top of whatever physiological reaction time we have. A fifth of a second is more than enough time to miss a fleeting expression or the peak of action, if that's the sort of photography you do.Joe, our own reaction takes several tenths of a second, doesn't this make the 0.2 secs less crucial ? It sounds pretty fast to me.
My children take after their parents in avoiding sports at all costs. I recall with pride my daughter's story of how she sneered at a hockey ball that the team captain was urging her to chase.

No offence vuk, but the street hockey ball is somewhat girlish compared to a Roller Hockey ball. There is a great 70's style in roller hockey - short shorts, high socks, knee pads, box, gloves. No face masks or helmets, no big padded shorts, proper stick - no ice hockey nonsense - ie. a man's sport. And you are subject to serious injury if the ball hits you.vuk said:joe.
those orange balls for street hockey that hurt like hell when you block a slapshot but have then benefit of not bouncing around like crazy as a tennis ball (the poor/lazy man's hockey ball) would do.
