I shoot a lot at Lacrosse games, a fast moving sport. I get great results by putting my D7i into full MANUAL mode. Then I select the aperture and a fast shutterspeed (1/350 - 1/1000 depending on the amount of light) and set the focus to 30m, not infinity.

The Depth of Field works here for me as everything from a few meters to inifinity will be perfectly in focus.
With this setting, there is NO delay at all as the camera does not need to figure out any setting, it's all pre-set. And it's VERY fast, in fact the D7i has one of the smallest shutter delays of the digital cameras.
