Does this have a burst mode and enable you to take a few photos very quickly? Thanks.

Yes. Great camera for the price. I've taken over 1200 photos. 3- burst mode settings. Nice

Because I do a lot of "street" photography, auto works best for me in most situations. Ive found this auto to be pretty decent but it is slower than a DSLR. IF you use burst after the first focus, the rest will be focused the same as the first one.

Yes, it is quick and has smile and blink detection. Also has multiple burst modes for quick action shots.

Yes it does. You can choose to use it or not. It's a great camera, really fast. I'm enjoying it!

Yes, but not in the same sense as a still camera does. It does bursts. Meaning that it'll take 10-30 frames per second for each shutter activation. You can't use it like a point and shoot, and take just ONE picture.

It has a High speed burst mode setting [10.5 shots per second] (within manual setting) however the quality is compromised and locked at 2304x1728 and cannot be changed. As you take more pictures the shooting may slow down. There also is the standard continuous shooting mode [3.9 shots per second] (within auto). Essentially the same as above goes for this mode even though it is slower, you will be able to take pictures at a better resolution.

It's great. I actually use the camera to take pictures of martial arts. The speed is fast, I can always capture the moment that I want. The only problem is that the flash always goes off in this mode. I am not sure if I can add flash in the action mode -- I have not figured out yet.

Yes, there is slight delay between photos when taking successive pictures rapidly--the camera takes a few seconds to process a shot before being ready for the next one.Not a problem for still scenes or landscapes, etc., but for photos of sports scenes or active children,you should consider a faster camera (and, of course, with a higher price). It's a good camera, easy-to-use, but has its limitations. Good luck.

That is the problem...you can't do rapid frames.The camera looks great, feels great to hold, but if you need something to capture a fast paced activity, this isn't the one for you.I like it and recommend it for a very casual user, however will be upgrading to a more advanced piece of equipment as soon as my budget allows.

You can set it based on the type of picture.. I have mine on burst and it takes it instantly. There are also advanced exposure settings and color preferences.

The camera can shoot up to 10 frames in one second burst when you hold down the shutter button in burst setting.Another feature you might like with a new baby is being able to get the always missing photographer in the shot using the Automatic shooting with Self-portrait timerPoint the lens at yourself so that the selected number of faces are reflected in the screen. The shutter operates automatically.And of course you can always switch it to full 1080 high def video mode and shoot great video also....

Hello, The SZ1 has three "burst" modes selected from "menu". "H" setting: the camera keeps taking pictures when you press the shutter button until you release it. On "Hi-Speed Burst", the camera takes takes pictures more rapidly as you depress the shutter button. On "Flash Burst", the camera keeps taking pictures but with the flash firing. This is slower than the previous two modes. Of course, there is a "Burst Off" setting. As long as you hold the shutter button down in the burst modes, there is no limit to the amount of shots you can take. Hello, The SZ1 has three "burst" modes selected from "menu".

Seems pretty fast to me, maybe a little slower as the scene gets darker, but it takes great pictures in very low light with autofocus.Has infrared light to focus with. Hardly ever use flash in a room with ordinary lighting.

Be sure to check two things:1. What is the continuous shooting rate AT FULL RESOLUTION. A lot of the numbers for fast burst are for very low res pix.2. How many frames can you shoot AT FULL RESOLUTION. I once tried out a camera that shot 11 fps--but could only capture 7 frames before pausing to write to memory!In general, CCD sensor will take longer to process. But a Class 10 memory card will help.

No the shutter speed is not fast... I've operated cameras with faster shutter speed. the main beauty of this camera is the quality of the distant shots. Ive not located the feature for sports (active shots) but i am yet to read the manual... so i am still learning the features

Hello Sr's.I have just bought this camera, been playing around with the settings for a coupple of days, its just GREAT. Its not the fastest camera out there, it DOES have a slight delay from PRESS to SHOT, dont know exacly how long, but its noticeable.However this camera, on auto mode, allows you to set an option ON to "fast capture" this will make the Shutter speed way faster... Intented for use to take a pic on a racing event or sports event. I think with this setting ON might be sufficient to capture that lil' angel smile just fine!

This camera does not have a "sports" setting. It does have a "burst" setting for continuous shooting when you hold down the shutter button, but it is not real fast. If you are taking single shots, its not too bad, especially outdoors.
