Is there any lag with the shutter speed? When I take a photo with my phone it takes a full second to finally take it, and often the moment is lost.

In my opinion, when using the video function there is a delay. there may be a slight delay in picture mode but not more than any other camera I have used. hope this helps!

Camera has auto focus. Push shutter button down a little way which lets camera focus on principle object. Then push all the way. Lag should markedly decrease. When you push the shutter all the way initially, the camera goes nuts trying to focus and take photo. Hope this helps

Yes, there is lag. This has a CCD sensor, I have many cameras. I suggest if you want no shutter lag at all, a CMOS sensor camera. Panasonic SZ7 is a good one. It will take a photo almost instantly.

I would not recommend this model.... I have had 2 of them go out on me withing several months and Cannon said they wouldn't fix the 2nd one.. not happy. I love my 1000 and 1200 models though. All do have delays though!

I barely notice a lag time. I turn off review after each shot so i can take another. also I use the higher resolution settings it did take a little bit to save however i got a faster SD card and the save time is now unnoticed.

There is a lag time. Not exactly sure how long... Maybe 1-2 seconds. When I first got the camera I hated the lag time, but I would say that I am used to it now. I wouldn't let the lag time deter you from purchasing this camera. It is a great product.

There are a couple different methods of snapping pictures, holding the button down, or simply pressing and releasing. In the correct settings for your lighting it's very fast, but in low light and very dark scenarios it can tak a second. Especially if the desired target is far away. In normal lighting in auto, the photos come quickly and if you are new to the camera, you can accidentally take sever pictures without realizing it. In other words, pretty damn fast, but for split second photos, you will still need to time it a little, it's not a dslr

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.

The shutter lag (not shutter speed, if we are talking about the same thing) on any new cameras is negligible, but you have to know how to set up your camera.I recommend reading this article by Ken Rockwell, about how to prevent shutter lag, as well as using his links to amazon when you but your camera.http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/shutter-lag.htmhope it helps.

Taking the picture is quick, but I have noticed that it does take a minute for the picture to process after you take the picture. I personally like taking single pictures however there is a function to take continuous pictures so you don't miss the shot! :)

Most digital cameras have a lag time when taking pictures. The lag time is needed to meter (determine settings) when the camera is set to auto. To take a good picture with this camera, hold the shutter button (picture button) down half way and let the camera meter the image, then after the camera has figured the best settings for the picture, press the shutter button all the way down to take the picture. I hope this helps.

Lag time when you take each shot so the image you get is a split second after you push the button, not so good with sports action shots. Also lag time between shots.

The touch screen feature is not always on as it can be easily locked. I use the shutter button almost 100% of the time. I should be trying the touch screen option, but I am happy using the shutter button to take my photos. Let me know if you have any other questions!

HiThere does not appear to be any lag. Hit the shutter button and you have it. By the way, I am a professional photographer and I owned the original RX100. Did not like it as I felt the lens and/or sensor was simply not sharp enough for my needs. I sold it after 3 months. The Mark 3 is fabulous and Sony has fixed the problems PLUS added an EVF. This camera lens/sensor combo is really sharp and I am delighted with it. It is my "carry around" always camera.Good luck and well wishes!- Phil Johannes

Thanks to this question, I just learned something about the camera. When I used the camera recently, I noticed I had to wait about five seconds between shots. I just discovered a button on the back that looks like a target. After taking a picture, I can press that button and shoot again immediately.

Did anybody ever let you know (or did you get the Fuji to find out) how quickly it will take a photo? I have a Canon and want to go with a smaller, less expensive, more durable model/make - but I need instant images.

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

Actually to be honest with, it seems to be pretty fast to me at least. Its pretty impressive how the shutter reacts, as soon as I press the button to take the picture. This is why I bought in the first place; Id say in circumstances where there a lot of movemente its probably less than a second for the camera to record the picture taken Ive taken so many at a time, its awesome.

I had a problem with blurry images, too, so finally checked the owners manual (duh!) It mentions that if you press the shutter too hard, you actually cause the blurriness. I have lightened up my touch, and things have improved. I still love this camera.

It's not to bad, but I do wish it was faster. My Nikon 35mm has a faster shutter speed but, I have to wait for the film to develope for that.
