What do you mean when you say that his camera was 1 or 2 seconds behind yours? You mean like his shutter click was 1 or 2 seconds behind your shutter click? If so, then that's not the camera that is slow, it's the user, haha.

All the EOS DSLR's shutter lag is almost non-existent. When you press the button (given that the camera is in focus and everything), the shutter fires.

As to reasons why his was slow, it could simply be because he has a slow finger or he doesn't know how to prefocus the camera and so the camera was having a hard time focusing, then once it was able to focus a second later, it then fired.
