How is the camera with action shots?

Seems to be very good as long as there is ample daylight. In low light situations focus and shutter response is slow (as with most digital cameras). Would rate above average.

It does pretty good action shots. I've done some of my people jumping into the pool, my dog chasing ball, and my dog swimming. Just make sure you get the nikon 1 j2 or j3 series because because I owned the j1 first and it takes horrible action pictures. Hope this helps.

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.

It's great. I actually use the camera to take pictures of martial arts. The speed is fast, I can always capture the moment that I want. The only problem is that the flash always goes off in this mode. I am not sure if I can add flash in the action mode -- I have not figured out yet.

It does take pretty good shots of moving objects when the flash is ON. But since this camera lacks image stabilizer, it's not 100% perfect. If you plan to take pictures of moving objects, I recommend looking into the Canon PowerShot SD700 IS 6MP. Hope that helped.

I like this camera, but I haven't been able to get a great motion shot yet. I may be doing something wrong. I am not an expert. The zoom is fantastic.

Not an 'action' camera. Needs more frames per burst. I purchased for Dual View, Wi-Fi and quality video. Dual View resulted in outstanding 'couple' photos with sights and landmarks in the background. Wi-Fi was outstanding for sending photos from Europe to the U.S.without any other devices. Quality video both night and, of course, day. Check out the many special effects. They make any photographer an artist. Lastly, ideal size for pocket or purse. I was tired of carrying an SLR. The DV300F filled all of my photo needs.

My T5 works wonderfully for action shots. I use an 18-250 lens which lets me get the shots even if they are further away. The focus is very fast and all I have to do is make sure I have the subject in the viewfinder. I have become fairly good at panning (following the subject as it moves) and have been happy with the results. I use a 32GB SD card with a fast transfer rate (90mbs/sec). I have been experimenting with the video mode and while the video is excellent I'm not much of a cameraman with it...yet! Have fun and enjoy, the T5 is the absolute best camera for the money.

The Photo quality was descent for an action camera. It's not a DSLR thought so don't keep your expectations to high. It's only 8MP. If you can pay the the extra cash go with a GoPro. This doesn't handle vibrations nearly as well as GoPro. Also, the GoPro will over saturate the colors. It's fake but makes your videos stand out with green grass being very green and blue sky being very blue.

I take flower and action scene shots. It stops action very well and with 18-55 mm and 55-300 mm lenses, both nikon works great. It's a general pack not specifically for just sports. It does it all.

This camera should do a good job for you. It has a sports setting for capturing very fast action. The camera does an amazing job with focus. While at Disney this summer, I took a photo of a still object that was about 1/4 mile away using the zom feature. The framing and focus were perfect. I mention this because I was moving at aprox 10 mph on a train when I snapped the photo. The only thing you have to keep in mind when using this camera is the location of your fingers on the left. It is easy cover up the pop up flash. You should also have a spare battery.

I have taken pictures of birds in flight with this camera on auto and they came out great. There are also specific settings for action shots in the manual mode.

I love the camera it was a good step up from the older Rebel. I shoot allot of action sports photography and it works great when I shoot in a gym that is poorly lit and you can't use a flash during the game. I use a 70-200 f2.8 lens and I get good Basketball photos. I want to upgrade to the 1D mark4 as soon as I can afford it!!

Yes, it is quick and has smile and blink detection. Also has multiple burst modes for quick action shots.

No, this is a very cheap and worthless action camera. If you are looking for an action camera I suggest you spend the extra money and buy a GoPro.

The shutter speed is fast ... action shot it can take very quick but it also depends on jow fast the movement is because if its extremely fast yoi pic will come out all out of focus and blurry.

I got camera from Amazon yesterday. I've done lots of playing with it. You can change white balance and even set it to a custom level.Auto-stitching of panoramas is quite nifty.Zoom motor very noisy during movies.Battery life is only fair and re-charging seems a bit slow.Pretty impressive stills in full sun. I bought Sony to replace Panasonic DMC-ZS3 that died and Panasonic service department has not satisfied me.

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.
