[Edit] 
Shutter lag is the time from when the shutter is triggered (pushing the shutter button) untill 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.
