I have a baby and need to take lots of pictures fast with no delay. Is this a good camera for that?

I have found that there is a 2 - 5 second delay between shots, but I'm not sure how this compares with other cameras.

Hi Theo - There is limited aperture/shutter control, so it is more difficult to take photos of fast moving objects. I would say this camera is best for still images! However, I have taken great photos even when the objects are moving. Hope this helps.

I am really not sure. I can tell you that this is a great point and shoot camera with great quality and speed. You can take picture after picture with no pauses in between which I love since I have small children. I hope this helps!

There is a bit of a delay, so it's not great for taking action shots. It's a generally great camera, and I love it a lot, but you do have to anticipate a shot.

I don't expect this to be a very difficult camera to use. There's always the auto mode to fall back on.The key point to take note of is really how good and fast the autofocus is. You'll want to wait for reviews to appear before making your decision. I've the X100 and the autofocus performance there wasn't up to my expectation - it wasn't as fast and accurate as I like.

The camera can shoot up to 10 frames in one second burst when you hold down the shutter button in burst setting.Another feature you might like with a new baby is being able to get the always missing photographer in the shot using the Automatic shooting with Self-portrait timerPoint the lens at yourself so that the selected number of faces are reflected in the screen. The shutter operates automatically.And of course you can always switch it to full 1080 high def video mode and shoot great video also....

Also note that any camera will slow down the "time between shots" if you use flash and maximum resolution and HD. But 5-10 seconds is absurd. Let us know if the extra firmware update improves this.

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.

Actually to be honest with, it seems to be pretty fast to me at least. It´s 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 I´ve taken so many at a time, its awesome.

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.

No, no delay when snapping pics. That was one of my biggest must haves as I have a young child that is always on the move. I've been very happy with this camera. No problems with the battery life. I did buy extra batteries though so I always have an extra one ready to go.

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.

Even if your baby moves, you're sure to get a good picture in just a few shots. Will depend on if you want the baby looking at you when you take the picture or if an action shot is find. I don't know the exact speed of the capture, but I haven't been disappointed with the camer so far.

Hi Sonja. Well I think it good for up to 5hrs. But this is the Worse camera I ever owned. It's Only good for "portrait shots". If some one or some thing is Very still for about 30seconds you'll be just fine. This camera needs about 6 seconds to snap the picture & reload. Way too Slow for average picture taking. I haven't used the video very much. I contact Sony about it & they said that's the best the camera can do. I hardly use that camera.. I also Don't like the way the colors come out.. I couldn't recommend this camera.

Yes this is an awesome camera. I use it for concerts as well and it takes fabulous pictures. I wish I could share a few for you. Its light weight and the speed is awesome. Not a point and shoot. You will have make settings for each situation just like any DSLR. I love mine and intend to use it as my primary camera.

I have a similar question, I'll just add it here. Is it fast enough, for example, take pictures jumping in the air (without being blurry)? Just so I can have a perspective.
