What's the startup time - how fast after you turn it on can you start taking pictures?

Donald I would be lying if I told you.. I bought the camera as a gift for my mom to use.. I know that she likes it.. I have only used it a couple times but I thought it was very quick..

The start time is fast with the ability to take a picture right away. If you were in a zoom mode, the camera will open to that zoom mode. If you were zoomed in at maxium, there is a slight pause as the camera is trying to focus in on the object you are pointing at. This time frame can be shortened by pressing the shutter half way forcing the camera to focus.

Pretty much immediately. Try it, you'll like it. It's an awesome ittle box. RG

3 seconds. I really like my LF-1. I am a pro photographer. My main camera is a Nikon D800. This is my "always with me on my belt" camera. I like it even better than the fancy Sony RX100 which I sold.

It takes just a few seconds for the camera to power on and then you can take pictures immediately.

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.

It takes about 2 seconds to start recording. After motion stops it takes about a minute to go into power save mode again.

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.

Seconds. it is a very good camera. Mark you I am no photographer. It works for me.

It depends if you have the camera in sleep mode or completely off. If it is completely off it takes approximately 3 seconds to turn on. If it is in sleep mode as soon as you open the screen on the side, it is on. It takes another second to push the record button and start recording.

Jeff I am also having issues with extremely short battery life. I only get about 15 to 20 pictures and then they are flat. How long does your camera take to run the batteries flat?

I haven't tried the camera yet. I plan on trying it this weekend. It is getting easier to use the other features._

Pretty damn fast. It has a ssd cache drive, not sure if that helps at all, but it boots up quick regularly. Less than 30 seconds from power off.

I don't remember it taking anymore time than a second or two. It doesn't have the settings for continuous, but I did not notice much downtime at all between photos. Hope that helps.

I haven't really timed it, but I would say 4 or 5 hrs.. I really like it so mauch better than the huge one that came with the camera.

The camera automatically starts when it receives 12V power. You can adjust time that video appears on display.

Very little, if you press the shutter half way to set focus, then the picture is taken very quickly after the shutter is fully pressed. I know that is not as fast as a dslr, but it is much faster than other point and shoot that I have ever used.

yes, you just go to menu and select burst on. You will then take 10 pics /sec as long as you keep the button down.

Depends how you're using your camera. If you're taking photos - you'll get approx. 4-6 hours of use, indoor photos with a flash will use up more of your batteries, and taking movies will absolutely eat up your batts, so yes, 10-20 minutes sounds normal if you are taking movies.

Shutter lag is ok..it's just the time it takes for for the camera reset to take the next photo that I am not happy with...I guess I should not have such high expectations for a $149 camera..

My battery life has been great. I don't shoot hundreds of photos every day, maybe on average 20 per day, and the battery stays charged for about two weeks. It doesn't matter to me how fast it goes from 100% to 80% charge, but how long to takes to get to 0-20% charge.
