I think shutter lag is acceptable. I don't think any small P&S is going to be stellar in that department. Batteries are AA and seem to last very well with Lithiums, at least. I am impressed with it.

I looked at the reviews and such for the A1300IS and it looks good.
My main concern is there a long shutter lag
and how do the batteries hold up?

I bought my wife a Canon Powershot A1300 because it has an optical viewfinder in a very small package. It does everything every other P&S does and provides very good jpegs. We both find that too often an LCD is unusable for critical framing and focus in bright light and want the viewfinder. We are both pleased with it as a travel camera or a carry around camera.

I have a Fuji AX 500 that set me back $100. It is very good and point and shoot with zoom... and automatic scene recognition, autofocus and face detection. It takes SD cards and also has cine capability. Remember, your sweetie is clever and will soon master the menu..

Hey Gang........
I'm looking to get my Sweetie a Point & Shoot for Xmas.
I have never spent much time looking at them.
A few years ago I got her a Samsung of some sort
and she likes it except for the incredible lag from
when you press the shutter release and when it actually fires
and it eats batteries!
I am looking at spending around $300 (street not MSRP)
Any suggestions?
Compact and easy is the key word here.......
