Recommendations for decent quality compact with less shutter lag

rockitup

Hi all,

Off to the Western and South Western USA Road Trip shortly and have a Canon EOS 7D with 15-85mm for landscape shots, also have a Sigma 8-15mm Ultra wide angle lens I got recently and a Tokina Fisheye.

This kit will do me for most of my photo needs but I still like to keep a compact (shirt pocket) point & shoot with me for any unexpected pics I need to get quickly.

I bought a Nikon S6 in the States some years ago (about 2006) and battery is nearly dead now plus lens cover gets stuck sometimes.
Thinking of replacing it with a new model, not worried so much about some things like video quality as EOS 7D will take care of that but Still want something to give good results for larger prints and just as important I need one with only a short shutter lag time, the S6 was rather slow.

Can you help with any recommendations for my short list? I will buy in Hong Kong (en route from here at a decent camera store) or in California when I land there. Not on a tight budget but not looking to blow over £400 in equivalent currency.

Thanks
