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

It's pretty fast I believe. There's setting that you can select to to take picture every so many second or minutes. I've had cameras that were over $200 and this camera takes better photos than the high priced ones

This camera is actually quite slow to take a picture and from shot to shot. My old Canon S2IS is much faster.

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.

Its pretty fast, not in burst setting its about a sec. I never use auto though because ever since watching the videos online its pretty easy making better pictures using the other settings.

Yes it takes extremely fast shots. Rated for 8 shots per second. We have been extremely happy with it. There just has to be a lot of light with that fast of a shutter speed.

As far as taking a picture, it's slower than an old fashioned 35mm slr, and that can be a problem if you want to take candid and motion shots. Of course that's not a problem if you use the video option on this camera. Once the shot is taken, however, it is ready pretty fast for the next one. "Saving" is automatic on this camera.

The product is very new to me, so I really do not know. I have the camera set to take photos rather than videos, and I have it set for 10 second intervals. I am getting pictures of wildlife, especially by night, and not many of birds and squirrels, etc. by day, (which I am glad of, as I would be getting hundreds of pictures - I think the camera is too far away from the birdfeeders). Anyway, I really don't know how fast the camera triggers.

Brian made some good points. I own an S-120, and its ISO range is from 80 to 12,800 (S-90 was 3200, as I recall). Also, in Manual mode only, the S-120 has a maximum shutter speed of 250 seconds. In other modes it's 15 seconds. Fastest shutter speed is 2,500 in all modes, I believe.

Shutter goes up to 1000 frames per sec. but needs lots of light an at a lower resilution. works best at 480 frames per sec.

Camera has a very fast electronic shutter and can take up to 40 frames/second. I have used the 10 frame per second mode for some outdoor shots that came out fine - just a lot of pictures to go review. Subject was also far away so quick focusing was not an issue.

The shutter speed automatically varies with the available light and lens aperture. The manual says that the shutter has a range from 2 sec to 1/1600 sec.

I believe it is 12800 or 25600 by default. I set mine to 12800 as max due to noise. But you can change the auto ISO range. Yes you can set the shutter speed to any setting and the auto ISO will compensate for the shutter speed. My only warning is at high shutter speeds except in good light, the ISO may get pushed to a point a lot of noise is introduced.

I believe the package said the trigger speed is 1 sec. which I thought was fast. I get a lot of blurry night pictures and the rear half of some deer. On more positive note the motion range is great and battery life is long. Pictures could be a little clearer though at night.

I have done some research on this, as this was of particular interest to me in purchasing. The instruction manual indicates the slowest shutter speed is 30 seconds. This will give you a bit of "time lapse", but not as much as a DSLR where you can specify the time the shutter is open. You can capture fireworks in about 4 seconds, slow a waterfall down using a 1 second shutter, and create an "action shot" of a moving item at about 1/15th of a second, so I think you have some room to work with on this camera.

Fast shutter speed at least 200 or more. High ISO for light so about 400 and open F stop 3.5 or so
