How much time does the camera take to process the photo?

Actually I bought it for our maintenance crew for recording purpose. I used a older model of Polaroid, it took about 20-30 sec to develop the film. I guess this one would be faster.

The camera ejects the photo immediately after the shutter fires - instantly. Then it takes two or three minutes for the photo develop fully, but the image is recognizable after 20 to 30 seconds. It depends a little on the temperature. I would check on availability of film for this camera before buying. A few years ago, Polaroid announced that it would discontinue this camera and all similar instant camera products. Then there was a _huge_ uproar from camera buffs everywhere, and Polaroid eventually decided to continue the various camera and film lines. I don't know where this stands as of 12/27/2013.

Shutter lag seems minimal. But no Digital camera made so far can be as fast as my old Nikon F film camera simply because it takes a finite time to write the image to the SDHC card. With film recording the image on the film was instantaneous.

I believe that it only took about an hour or so. The charge last a good while, around 300-400 pics.

I have found that there is a 2 - 5 second delay between shots, but I'm not sure how this compares with other cameras.

No, it's quite slow. I recommend you spend a little more $ and get a Canon DSLR that can take at least 10 frames within a second.

it is ever so slight, and less than some other cameras i have used.. it also depends on the f stop setting you are using.. there is a delayed flash setting that will also lengthen that time.

It is only a few seconds, maybe two or three. I used this camera for the first time this weekend on a getaway & had no issue with the slight delay. Still got great pictures.

There is a lag time. Not exactly sure how long... Maybe 1-2 seconds. When I first got the camera I hated the lag time, but I would say that I am used to it now. I wouldn't let the lag time deter you from purchasing this camera. It is a great product.

From a cnet review: It takes about 0.7 second to shoot two sequential photos, either JPEG or raw+JPEG (the camera doesn't support plain raw).

Once it's charged fully, to take pictures it shows somewhere close to 280 minutes. Also depends upon what you are using for and how you are using it.

Start up time is short. The time between the taking of one picture to the next is, of course, not as quick as a SLR; I'd say 3 to 5 seconds.

It's only about 2 seconds. This camera has been real good for me, once I got down the menu.

Very little, if you press the shutter half way to set focus, then the picture is taken very quickly after the shutter is fully pressed. I know that is not as fast as a dslr, but it is much faster than other point and shoot that I have ever used.

when I take a picture in some settings the camera takes longer to process the information the screen turns black for 10 sec to be able to take the next picture.

Within seconds... It takes more time to load the tray then it does to render the photo.

I assume you mean the time from pressing the button to the time of getting the shot. As long as you have a focus, the shot is pretty instantaneous. I keep the camera set for -1, 0, +1 exposure to capture 3 different lighting for each shot, and the only delay is the image actually appearing after the button is pressed. There is about 1/2 second after you press the shutter button and see the image displayed that you have just captured.

The actual scanning takes about 2 seconds. Where the time is involved is in the loading and unloading of the frame that holds the negatives. Figure about 1-2 minutes per frame loading and unloading. It's still worth the doing in order to save those old pictures.
