Whats a good point and shoot digi camera with fast shutter?
I need to buy a new point and shoot digitial camera. My sony cybershot from years ago is having issues but lasted awhile at that. I would like something with a fast shutter speed so I don't have to wait for it to auto focus and get the photo minutes later. Any suggestions? I would also like a camera that adjusts to the lighting and takes clear bright photos. Thanks

There are some things in your questions that tell me you don't understand.
The speed of the shutter has nothing to do with how long it takes for the camera to focus and expose. That is called lag time. All automatic cameras have it. Some say they're faster but the difference can be measured in mili-seconds - that's not very much.
Get used to it, lag time is here to stay as long as you use an automatic camera.
Shutter speed on the other hand is the time it takes to properly expose your photo. If you set the
shutter speed, on an SLR lets say, at 1/500, that shutter will be open 1/500th of a second.
However the lag time to focus and expose may be 2-3 seconds.
There is no getting around lag time. The alternative is manual control with an SLR and that can take many times longer.

All point-and-shoot digital cameras have fast shutter speeds and automatically adjusts to lighting. All of them also have shutter lag.
You are trying to take a shot in dim light. Even dSLRs will complain about that. The difference is with dSLRs, you are allowed to adjust other settings to get a proper exposure. With point-and-shoots, you'll just have to deal with the automatic settings.
Clear bright photos will depend on you, the photographer. If you give the camera enough light, it will respond favorably to you.
