My wife wants a Digital Camera that is inexpensive and takes fast clear photos?
We had an old cannon 5MP that broke and have a Nikon 10MP coolpix the last 22 months. It's a lame camera because the shutter speed is so slow we miss pictures of our daughter. She's either moved or they're blurry. Any suggestions from photographers out there? Something in the under $200 and under $500 price range? Sony, Cannon? Thank you very much!
Go for Panasonic LS85,you won't regret.Achieve what you expected.

ALL P&S cameras suffer from those, although some are a little better than others.
Learning about photography would help you make the most of what you have and would help you know how to work around many of the limitations, but if you truly want to get away from shutterlag, you'll have to go to a DSLR.
The camera you want does not exist. And the long time it takes from when you press the shutter to actual capture is not slow shutter speed, it's called shutter lag. Shutter speed is the time that the sensor is exposed to the light.
If you want clear and fast, you need a dSLR, but cheap it is not. As for compacts, they are all poor performers regardless of brand or price. Because camera makers have been forcing more and more pixels onto image sensors that are tiny, and staying tiny, image quality has suffered the most in low light. The pixels are so tiny and they gather very little light. Also, speed takes a hit because the camera has to process a larger image file from a sensor with more pixels.
Sorry for the bad news. If you don't like the big dSLRs, you can find compact-ish cameras with large sensors that are a bit faster, but they cost even more than entry level dSLRs. They would be Panasonic's GF1, Sigma's DP1 and 2, and the EP1 and 2 from olympus.
