Does this camera have a quick shutter speed, in case I need to take multiple pictures quickly?

This camera has functionality to take some pictures sequentially, but if you want to push the button manually you will have to wait a little, like 1 or 2 second between.

Yes it does. It also has a setting that takes several pictures and puts them together to make the best picture possible. I love this camera!

I think it can do 12 fast shots. But now when I was playing with other cameras I want fast and panoramic setting also. I think I will wait for a model to come along.

at a normal setting, taking a picture viewing it and snapping another is quick. there is also another setting on the camera for continuous picture taking. it is very good. i use it for birthdays and lots of movement pictures

No, it does have a good selection of modes and if you need a "sports" for fast action you can go into the setup mode and manually change the shutter speed, The camera takes very good pictures. My only complaint is that the camera body is made out of plastic and feels cheap.

What if you're trying to take pics of kids who never slow down long enough for the shutter lag to catch up...is this a good camera for it?

There is no delay when you set the camera to take multiple shots and press the button and hold it. It is like taking a movie. But taking single shots in succession there is a slight delay. Again let me say it also depends on the speed of the flash card you are using and the batteries you are using. You do realize that taking single pictures in rapid succession, you are not giving the auto stabilization feature in the camera a chance to work and your pictures may come out blurred. Good luck!

Quite unscientific, but an educated guess is about two seconds from press button, take pic, process/view, manually take next picture. Fastest camera I have ever used. Of course you can also use it in the "burst or continuous" mode and take multiple pics in one press. In that mode, it is of course, much faster as you are not displaying each pic until you stop and choose to view. Hope it helps.

No, it's quite slow. I recommend you spend a little more $ and get a Canon DSLR that can take at least 10 frames within a second.

Yes, you can select different shutter speeds with this camera. Also, on automatic, the shutter speed will change depending on the need. For example, low light the camera will slow down the shutter speed tremendously.

I would say it takes the picture immediately. Much quicker than my old Nikon Coolpix did, where there was a definite lag. If you are taking a photo which uses flash, then it takes more time, but not for daylight photos.

Just about every digital camera has a delay! However, if you use the fastest media card that you can find, I have found that you can minimize the delay time when taking rapid-fire sequences.

YES - I bought it, since the KIDS options have been dropped by most models (ridiculous). It is fast shutter, so you can pick the best frame to save. The frequency may not be as fast as you wish (like movie frames) but I guess 3-4/second. The longer you hold down the shutter, the more frames taken. I would set the area to shoot...start the shutter 1/2 down (focus time) just before anticipating the shot, then shutter Down.

If you are OK with the weight of such cameras then yes it has good control over shutter speed and it captures moments fast. I would suggest for small cameras if you want it for adventures.. These size cameras are useful for nature photography

No, yes, and yes. The burst mode can take 30 shots in 1 second. The battery holds up well in my opinion. But ive never measured it. And the quality certainly degrades with increasing focal length. The picture quality will be disappointing compared to a DSLR.

Are you talking about how short an exposure you can get or how quick between pictures. I haven't been limited by shutter speed in high or low light situations, but if you are trying to take actions pictures the time between frames probably isn't what you are looking for.

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.

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.
