Sounds like you have a digital camera. Some digital cameras are just slow. I have a CP-8800 that is like molasses in winter, real slow. So really, you can't speed up the time it takes a digital camera to get ready between shots. Sorry.

Professional photos has much more to do with your skills using a camera
Professional photographers use cameras that cost over $ 5,300 and that are dSLR cameras.
For $ 200, you will have to forget "clear, professional" photos.
Yes, with the right skills, you can get good "clear" photos and them may look "professional" if you have the skills to shoot such images, but in the end, the quality produced by a dSLR with a sensor that is 15 times larger than a P&S camera will always be better. This is just basic physics. The larger the individual pixel, the higher quality image will be produced.
For around $ 200, you can buy a decent, inexpensive P&S camera, but you will be challenged to produce the images you hope to shoot
