I want something that will let me take several shots in a row quickly without missing a beat. My 35 mm camera needs time in between each shot before I can take another right away. What should I look for when I go out shopping for one?

Any decent dSLR will do the trick. I have a nikon D50 that I love. But it'll cost you a few hundred.

In another words. You are looking for a good camera that has high fps (frames per second) rate. Most compact digital camera will have lack time between the shutter button being press and the shutter actually open and close due to self-focusing. And the usual burst rate is somewhere around 2-3fps. DSLR or film SLR will not have a problem with the shutter lack time (given you do all the focusing yourself) and the brust rate are greater. Some high end model can finish a 36 films roll in just 4 seconds. Of course, with such great performance, it comes with a big price tag. Have fun shopping.

Whether you are looking for a film or digital camera, you really want an SLR. The shutter response is instantaneous. If you still find you have problems, pre-focus or focus manually.
In fact, if you set your present camera on "infinity" (usually shown as mountains in the distance on the icon), it might bypass focusing and many times this will not matter much anyhow.

DLSR = digital SLR camera will do at least 3 frames/second with a minimal shutter button lag. My choice: Canon Rebel XTi 40D + Canon EF 17-88 mm IS USM lens.

Advanced point and shoot or Digital SLR, preferably the SLR. Even so you will have to learn how to set the camera up to do this for you, just putting any camera in automatic mode will slow it down as it makes decisions about focus and light etc.

I have the canon sd700. It takes great pictures because it has a chip which counters the jitter your hand normally makes. It's a great easy to use point and shoot.
1. it is small, light, thin, which make it more likely you bring it with you
2. extremely user friendly, has electronic stabilization which corrects for hand jitter.
3. big lcd, works well even in sunlight
4. CHEAP, you should get it for $300, get the SD900 or SD500 if you want to spend less or more

A fast camera like that is going to cost you a few quid. Be prepared to spend anything from £500 upwards.
