Speed from shot to shot... Pretty fast?

I had the S75, which is about a year older than the V1. The technology has seriously come a LONG WAY since then. If the light is good, the W50 focuses and takes a picture pretty much immediately. You push the button, it goes click. Great for keeping up with kids! For best results, I have the AF Mode set to "Monitor" so that the camera is always auto-focusing.

It your referring to the slam-fire, It can go up to relatively fast speeds. As long as you pull the handle all the way back before pushing forward to prevent jams, I'm sure you could shoot up to 4 darts per second. Another recommendation for if you are going to be using this blaster a lot, INVEST IN ELITE (blue) DARTS. The other darts work okay, but when I used them they jammed almost 50% more than when I used elite darts. Overall the elite darts are better, so if you are going to buy new darts be sure to buy the blue ones.

The scope is a weird dot thing that I took off and just used the sights. Sights can be dialed in some but for me it still ended up high. As for game, well I guess you could. It does get going pretty fast. I have a cardboard box stuffed to the brim w old denim and even still it gets about half the dart in. Those darts are fairly pointy. That said, the while it *could* be done, its main purpose in life is to be a novelty crossbow. You can't (in my area) take it to the archery range and the gun range starts wondering if they're being pranked. It's a toy for grown ups. Don't expect anything and you won't be disappointed. :-)

No, definitely not. The fastest speed I felt even trying it was about 30-35mph.

I have not used the video feature yet. Yes it does shoot quickly. No I have not found an over ride

Much faster than our previous Canon. It seems instantaneous. I believe there is a data point within the Specifications that actually documents it.

I think it is only 30 frames a second. But it is really a good camera for the money. I have two of them and may get two more.

I have a similar question, I'll just add it here. Is it fast enough, for example, take pictures jumping in the air (without being blurry)? Just so I can have a perspective.

Hi, it depends on the spinning speed applied by the player and launcher, as well as other parts, the player use. Thanks for your understanding.

I haven't, but a golf ball is traveling approx. 150+ mph when it hits the net. How fast is the lacrosse ball going?

This camera is fabulous at fast moving sports. It can take a shot a second, consecutively. I love it!

Its around 360 fps. It has no shortage of power, trust me, as its main purpose is cqb, you really dont need any more than 350, but a little extra never hurt anyone, right? Except the guy youre shooting at anyway :P

I've chronographed BB's at 740fps. Haven't measured pellets. If you're using pellets, this will be just as slow to load as your breakneck; loading 1 at a time. BB's are much faster to load but not as accurate.

Thanks for the info. When you say "outperformed", what do you mean, specifically? Did the motion look smoother?

The fps is from 450-480. at a hundred yards with 30gm i can hit pretty accurately.

I haven't owned many other cameras besides this one, the other ones i've used are at least 5 years older so this feels lighting quick, but what I have read is this camera is slightly slower than others on the market in terms of insta-shots (pressing the button right away without half-pressing it to focus), but it is one of the quickest out there after you have already half-pressed it. I always half-press my shots anyways because I find it essential to get consistent, decent photo quality, but that's just me. What I have read is after half-pressing, the shutter speed is ~450ms, and when pressing it right away, it takes ~950ms to take a picture. Those numbers seem consistent with results I have gotten. Like the other review I read, the reasoning behind this could easily be because this camera's auto settings are much more advanced than in the past that the focus processing algorithms take longer to go through, but once it is focused, its actual shutter speed delay is very short. Do keep in mind that this camera has a continuous shoot mode (~3.4 shots/sec) as well as a high-speed burst mode (~9 shots/sec), but the high-speed bursts are only 3 megapixels (lower quality). To people saying the camera does not come anywhere close to these results, my guess is it is because they have a slower (class 4 or 6) SD card inside. I have a Sandisk extreme class 10 in mine (up to 30 mb/s, class 10 means the disk is rated at a minimum 10mb/s), and the results i got seem much closer to the 3.4 and 9 shots/sec factory results. This camera is about as quick as it gets when it comes to point-and-shoot shutter lag speeds. Put a fast memory card in there and the delay you are used to seeing in other (esp older) cameras is virtually gone. Turn off picture review (where it shows the picture right after taking it) and you'll get even faster results.

Almost instantaneous! A little slower if repeating flash photos, but I find that I can take nearly all photos with the flash off. This camera is so much faster than the previous digital cameras I have owned. I would put this little camera up against cameras that cost 2 to 3 times as much.
