I am afraid this behaviour is VERY "normal" for almost all P/S
digitals; in fact their slow reaction is their biggest problem. While
there are differences between various models and brands, none of them
comes even close to being fast enough for real action shooting.
What can be done is pre-focussing (holding the shutter button partially
depressed) or switching to manual focus (for those cameras that have
it). Depth-of-field is huge, so this is the best solution when
available.
Leaving the "red-eye reduction" selected in the flash settings will
also prolong the wait substantially for flash shots.

Digital question:
I have a question from students I am unable to answer, so I am
bringing it to the experts.
A student who owns two digital cameras says when he pushes the shutter
release it takes the camera seconds to respond and he sometimes misses
the shot (I think I read something about this on PF). Does something
need setting on the camera? Is this normal for a digital camera?
One of his cameras is a Kodak, I forgot what the other is.
Thank you in advance.
