Thats exactly what i do.  Theres a click, then the next click takes the picture, well, slightly press till the first click goes, then hold it there until u want to take a picture, and press the second click, and it takes the picture like any normal 35 mm camera.

I forgot one other thing.  You can "pre-focus" most cameras by slightly pressing on the shutter button.  Once you have done this, the time to take the picture is close to 1/10 of a second.  Practice this technique and you will have much better luck with kids and animals!  I have not updated the pages in a while, but here are links to a few hundred digital pictures of my daughter: http://ep.com/brad/mari/
 
I now use the flash for virtually every picture - this seems to help quite a bit.

Yep, they all do that.  The Kodak is a pretty decent entry level camera.  You will be hard pressed to find one that is easier to use that this.  If you get the dock and rechargeable battery that comes with the dock, you may never need to buy a battery for it.  Get a decent memory card, and you may never have to do anything other than dock the camera.  I know how easy this is, because I bought the 4330, dock, and a128 MB card for our daughter's Pre-School for the teachers to use. 
 
As for taking pictures of three year olds, I've had a digital for about three years and have taken hundreds of pictures of our almost 4 year old daughter.  At least with the digital you can review the pictures, trash the bad ones and then re-take the ones that did not work.

I have what is probably a silly question. I just picked up a Kodak 4230 digital camera just for snapping pics of cars and stuff for ebay, etc. However, I noticed that it does not work like my regular camera in that there is a delay between when you press the shutter button and when it actually takes the photo. Drives me nuts. My question is, are they ALL like this or just this Kodak. I mean, imagine trying to take a picture of a three year old when there's a 1.5 second delay. Shoot, my kids move so fast that by the time the shutter clicks they're in the next room.
