looking for a good pocket camera

[j_s45]

I am brand new to this forum, but I figured I would ask were there was a good likelihood of people knowing what they

are talking about. I have been looking for a little while and have kind of settled on either the Canon SD1100 or the

Olympus FE-370 I have used the Canon and like it and have owned Canons in the past. So I guess I would like

anyone with a comment from experience on either of these cameras. Thank you

Canon SD1100 is probably your best choice,

or the Casio EX-S10. I do not know the FE-370 but the FE-340 isn't as good.

Better pocket cameras such as the Panasonic LX3 cost more.

I'm starting from somewhere slightly different, but the question is the same.

 

I'm looking for a 'compact' that I can put in my pocket but will deliver quality. (I'm using a Nikon D2x as my main camera - so that's my quality benchmark. Unrealistic? Maybe. Maybe not).

 

My issue is one of shutter lag. I do action photography of railways. So when I press the shutter, I want it to fire 'now'. Not when it feels like it.

 

Anybody got any bright ideas of cameras I should look at?

I don't think there is a compact out there which is free from shutter lag.

P&S with the least shutter lag
