Hi Amy,
I'm not personally familiar with anything in that range that has quick response time... the lowest price I know of is the Easyshare DX6440 which has excellent time reviews, but is above $300 so may not suit you.
That isn't to say there isn't one out there. My advice is to find a camera you like in your price range, then go to google.com and search for the camera's name plus the words "shutter lag." Lots of reviewers time-test the cameras and post their results. You should be able to compare them that way.
One tip that will help you immensely- most shutter lag is caused by the camera focusing. So if you have it set to Manual focus, the shutter lag will be less than if you're using Auto, because in Manual you will do all the focusing before you push the button. So that is something to consider.
If, however, your camera doesn't have Manual focus, or if you want to use Auto focus, try this: Depress the shutter button halfway before you're ready to take the picture. This will frame and focus the shot but not actually take it. Then, when the moment happens, push the button down the rest of the way. This reduces shutter lag to fractions of a second even on fairly inexpensive cameras. It is definitely worth trying.
