How many shots can you take in 30 seconds? I want to know about the lag between shots and not the burst mode.

Haven't found any "lag" between shots at 2-3 seconds each. Most of my photos are portraits and landscapes.

Ah, yes, that's what I was looking for. Shutter speed seems a bit slow. At 300mm, you'd need a shutter speed of at least 1/500 sec to stop camera shake (assuming no IS). But your blurrier shot was at 1/320sec and the better one at 1/400sec. Plus a slower shutter speed allows more motion blurring. I'd suggest upping the ISO to 200 or 400 and shooting in TV mode for action shots like this.Also not sure what lens you're using but many of the consumer grade models are much sharper at f8 or f11.

Not sure time-wise what delay is for start-up and in between shots but I know it is super fast. I couldn't believe how fast the camera comes on. Time between shots, even with flash, is fastest I've seen in all the cameras I've bought.

I timed my processing speed on my camera and it is 8 seconds and seems to take longer after multiple shots. Thanks for the tip about the shutter button. I tried that and it works for about 3 shots than the camera seems to hesitate and the shutter button will not depress. Maybe that is how it is supposed to work and 3 consecutive shots is all that is needed. I just don't know if my camera is working as it should and I am expecting too much or if there is a defect in the camera.Thanks for the help.

I believe the techs say the auto focus is 7 frames per second. I'm not a pro, very amateur. I do set up the focus ahead of time by aiming at the subject and holding the button halfway down for like half a second to give the camera a chance to focus and then I push all the way down to get the shot. Also, if you turn off the welcome screen, the start up time is much faster. I would go to a local store and try out the camera in person and see how you like it before you buy. There are Nikon cameras that are faster, but more expensive and for pros. Usually when I get a bad shot, it is because I had the wrong setting or something, not the camera.

Our battery lasted longer than that. Like you said, maybe if you were shooting it non-stop in full auto mode it would last only 20 minutes, but in normal play it was just fine.

Yes...don't shoot this gun on 6 round burst for a long time. The mechanism freezes, and gun won't fire. Have en fun!!

Seems a bit slow compared to what I experience. I've found that using an SD card with a fast write speed (45mbps or higher) and turning off auto-image-review in the settings really helps to significantly speed up shot-to-shot time. I'd also recommend checking Sony's website for the latest firmware updates (can be found here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=NEX6&template_id=1&region_id=1&tab=download#/downloadTab). Hope this helps!

I find that there is no lag time, or lag time of perhaps 1/10th of a second. Perhaps there is a lag time involving focus, but if you focus the camera and then press the button there is no lag time.

Subjectively not as fast as a Nikon D4, but what is. Just shot a forth of july parade. I see no discernible lag in my so far limited use. There is a small lag before your next shot. Not suitable I think for wildlife in motion.Bill Byrd

It has burst shot action. You might find some limitation if the camara is off and you want to capture a quick shot. I've kept the camara on and gone walking trying to capture "moments". Works pretty well. I understand there are other camaras that are good for that. Don't know brands or prices though. The Samsung has been a lot of fun for low cost.

I was able to empty the entire 300 rd reservoir and about 50 more after that without using the 6 round burst, so with semi only with a second in between each shot. Obviously that number slims down when using 6 round burst and speeding up the shots.

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.

To me, the lag time is virtually none. Very fast, in my layman's opinion. It also has a burst mode.

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.

Although you can load 20 rounds -> this is NOT a (time saving) "speed-loader". It IS a "thumb saver". By the time you place each bullet, facing up in the loader (a couple rounds are bound to fall over and you have to fish them out or start over) you could have loaded TWO magazines the old fashioned way. That's why it's called an "EASY-loader" and NOT a "speed-loader"

Not sure if the exact lag time but it's very low. Takes pics really quick. Also has sport mode on it so it keeps up with movement
