the term is shutter lag from button press to shutter opening. another important time is the recycle time which is the time it takes for the image to be recorded between pictures. I currently have a canon digital rebel xt which has an unnoticable shutter lag ang a really good recycle time. The recycle time can be helped by the speed of the memory card. I have an 80x CF card which can take 20 or so shots at 3 frames per second before slowing down. If you use a slower card, even though your camera might want to recycle faster it could be limited by the card speed.

The delay between pressing the button and the camera taking the picture is called simply “shutter lag”. Opening and closing the shutter is referred to as an actuation and some (mostly professional level) cameras have warrantees on how many actuations the shutter can withstand.
Most digital camera manufacturers compete to reduce shutter lag. In my opinion Canon leads the pack. With the introduction of their DIGIC II processor, shutter lag became a thing of the past for Canon. The DIGIC II processor also improved image quality and battery life. And Canon recently improved on the DIGIC II processor with the introduction the DIGIC III.
All of the new Canon digital cameras share the DIGIC processors, so finding one you like should not be a problem.

If you focus before (half-way press the shutter button), all nowadays cameras should take the photo (almost) immediately. When you are shooting landscape photos or something, it would best to set manual focus to infinity. And one more fact, dSLRs have faster focus and smaller shutter lag than P&S cameras.
