I believe you are referring to Shutter Lag. It's the amount of time you wait between pressing the button and the camera actually taking the photo.

Generally speaking, more expensive cameras have smaller Shutter Lag times. DSLRs are almost instant, but even they have a little lag time.

In small point-and-shoot cameras, Sony tends to be a little quicker than most.

Important Tip:

Automatic cameras do several steps before they actual take the shot. They 1) focus, 2) calculate the exposure, and 3) take the shot.

If you press the button down half way and hold it there, the camera will complete steps 1 and 2 and wait for you to press the button all the way down to do step 3.

Pre-focusing before your shot, by holding the button down halfway, will reduce your shutter lag time.

This means you have to think ahead and be ready for the shot before it happens. This is true for any camera, even the big DSLRs.

Do I need a digital camera if I have a cellphone that takes pictures?

It depends upon the Megapixels in your mobile phone camera. If you want good quality photos, it is better to buy a digital camera, since pictures taken with a digital camera have more clarity, and color depth. Also features such as flash, and image stabilization work much better in a digital camera.
