does it take good action photos (horses running)?

I can't honestly answer because I usually use mine in controlled environments photographing jet engines for work.

It can get a hummingbird feeding on a bright day. The wings are a little blurry but that's not bad for a compact I think. We haven't tried horses running.

Yes. In the auto mode there is a setting. It is a fantastic digital. I use mine al the time.

It has the capacity to take action shots depending on the shutter speed you need. Just be aware the quality of pictures won't be that great. It's nothing more than a glorified point and shoot and my experience with it wasn't that great at all. I was glad when it got stolen, but felt a little sorry for the thief!

This camera does a great job with action shots. I can photograph my grandsons jumping into the swing pool and stop the action as they are entering the was the water including the splash. I have taken water fall pictures and you can stop the water drops in motion. As far a s low light I think the camera will work well with the flash attachment that goes on the hot shoe on top of the camera. I have done ok in low light setting without a flash, but I would need to know more about what you trying to do in low light. Here again you have to keep in mind that this is $300 camera and it will not preform like a $1,000 Cannon. But for $300 it does a great job. The stop action on this camera is incredible.

It has great frame rates taking 4fps. The action setting makes shooting sporting events really easy I use it all the time for swim meets and my pictures turn out great. Make sure you look at the white balance for the indoor stadiums and other highly lit events so you don't use a flash and wash out your subjects.

For low light it will do for sure. I do beluce for sone action too, but not to much. Photographing groups pf friend together i had no problems lime "phantons" ir shades of people moving. It is not a pro camera but a long step from regular ines. If you know how to operate in manual yoy will be able to do it.My experience is only on automatic mode.

Its too slow for continuous action shots. Regarding stopping action oin a single shot---only in bright sunlight and not on 'auto'

NOOOOO!You would be lucky to have it focus in time to capture the action. I originally bought this camera to take action photos of my sons's high school football games. I could not have been more disappointed. I returned this camera.

Yeah, it does. One of the functions helps action photos look clearer. I have also used another function that allows to take sequential photos. I am sure I have to learn more about this camera but It has been a good buy. I still think the camera doesn't take good pictures in dark places, but as I told you, I have to play a little bit more with it.

Low Light Performance indoors is good in my opinion. The flash works great. I can finally take photos indoors in really low light, without having to turn on all the lights in the room. Zoom is great also. I really love this camera. I really wanted to take action shots of my dogs running and playing. And the action shots are incredible. No blur. Really crisp.

Once you learn how to use the camera, it can be good for moving kids. However, it does take a moment to focus and you need to learn the nuances of operating the camera to improve the focus ability. It does have a sport setting which will take several photos in succession.

I would say no it is not good at doing super close up shots. You would need a camera with a macro lens to do that kind of photos.

This camera takes pictures when there is nothing in the frame. I think the wind moving the trees and grass are setting it off. I had over 100 pictures taken and only 5 Han animals in the picture

I've done some close up shots and it has performed well. I love this camera but I am not s professional photographer.

Not sure about action shots. It was a gift for somebody else so I can't test it. However I can tell you that my father-in-law was impressed with the ease of use and we had a great time playing with all of the settings on a recent visit. The front camera also plays cartoons so a young child will stay still for pics!

I have used it in some action shots, but mostly in weddings or school band concerts. You will need to set the camera in manual focus for some fast pace events. This model is a little old now, you may be able to find a newer model for less $$.

Although it is a little grainy at night, it does a good job capturing night pics and videos. If an animal runs by at high speed, it may miss the photo/video, but I don't think that would happen often.

No. Pictures are great. I'm happy with this product. If you let it sit a long time the action shots stick (the shutter stays open). Would be nice for the video, but still takes nice pictures.

No. It is a crappy low-cost "action camera", like the GoPro except that this Polaroid version barely works. This was a massively disappointing Christmas gift for my son. Probably confirms that Polaroid is way beyond death spirals. Do not buy this product.
