Shutter lag is the time from when the shutter is triggered (pushing the shutter button) until the time the image is recorded.
In professional cameras the shutter lag is far less than consumer cameras. Some professional cameras will take 6 to 8 frames per second when triggered by hand.
Consumer cameras vary from about a tenth of a second to 2 seconds of shutter lag.

Is there a measurement for shutter lag on digital cameras?
There is no measurement for shutter lag, unfortunately, on digital cameras.
What causes shutter lag?
In a mechanical shutter it is the time that it takes for the mechanical components to mesh and begin the movement of the shutter blades. These components must also build up the forces necessary to move against the springs that hold the blades in the closed position. This build up of forces takes some finite amount of time to overcome, hence a lag time. Then, depending on mass of the shutter blades there is a finite time it takes for the blades to move to the open position. This is due to inertia. (Inertia is the property of matter by which it retains its state of rest or its velocity along a straight line so long as it is not acted upon by an external force.) In an electro-mechanical shutter additional lag times are provided by the inductance of the actuating mechanisms, (usually some electro-magnetic actuator). In these cases the time it takes for the actuator to build up the energy necessary to be able to overcome the "at rest" forces causes additional lag. Shutter lag is a property that shutter manufacturers work very hard to reduce to a minimum required duration. ****************** While technically correct, shutter lag in a modern non-digital SLR is virtually undetectable. The questioner was probably referring to the lag time of a non-SLR digital camera, which as most people have observed, can be a pain in the butt. The answer in that respect is that the lag is due to the time it takes the image to be converted to digital information. High priced digital SLRs have much less lag as their processing time is much shorter. The trade-off is the dent it puts in your wallet. Micron.
How do you make your digital camera faster?
If you mean, how can you reduce the shutter lag, you can speed things up by prefocusing (hold the button down halfway) before you have to take the picture. Read your manual.

What are disadvantages of using a camera?
Shutter lag is the most commonly cited problem with digital cameras, because of the time it takes for auto focusing and the activation of the picture capture mechanism, often in situations where timing is important like sports events, the time between pressing the shutter button and the actual time the camera records the image can mean the difference between getting or losing the shot.
