The "shutter speed" should not be affected by the speed of the secondary memory (your memory stick), it is a function of the device that actually captures the image. The speed of the memory stick affects how quickly a captured image is saved, making the camera available to take another photo.To get a photo of your cat with its eyes open, try lighting the scene better, turn your flash off, and work with other features of your camera, such as a Sports mode. Take notes on what you do to get the photo and you will be able to recreate the camera configuration later. Some cameras have custom modes which will store a set of custom settings.

My Pen Name said it exactly.Does your camera have a "high iso" Feature? thats good for low light situations, but you will have to hold the camera very still.

The short answer is "yes, it will" Gregg, if you're looking for a no frills, cheaply purchased solution to gigabytes of flash memory for your daily shutterbug needs.If, however, you're a techno-phile who simply must have the most memory rated at the latest, lowest latency and the fastest write speed then this may not be your cup of tea. I also agree that the memory stick write/read speed is relatively 'slow' compared to stand alone SD or microSD cards only because of the way the adapter applies the use the card; if you don't mind allowing an extra second/s for your camera (or whatever device used) to write to the card itself once it's properly formatted then you shouldn't pass up this bargain.

The in-camera memory is good for only 3 pictures (I only get three) - after that you have to copy to card.A friend of mine said that reason it doesn't automatically copy to the card is his card was already formatted.Maybe - just maybe if you used the camera to format the card (saving your card to your computer first) the card would automatically cross-save your photos as you shot more pictures..I'm going to try that and will reprot back later - camera in my daughters hands for the next couple of weeks.

Seems a bit slow compared to what I experience. I've found that using an SD card with a fast write speed (45mbps or higher) and turning off auto-image-review in the settings really helps to significantly speed up shot-to-shot time. I'd also recommend checking Sony's website for the latest firmware updates (can be found here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=NEX6&template;_id=1&region;_id=1&tab;=download#/downloadTab). Hope this helps!

I'm using a class 4 8GB SDHC card (Sandisk Ultra II) with my Canon S90 camera. Haven't gotten any hiccups so far and it loads images plenty fast for me. Though there are some cameras out there that will want a minimum speed from SD cards. For instance, most dslr cameras will benefit from using class 6 (minimum write speed of 6MB/sec) SD cards because it can shoot multiple frames per second. Some go as high as 9fps. There aren't very many Point and Shoot cameras that support such a high frame rate so in short they can't benefit from the latest and greatest SDHC cards.

Apart from the speed, the software was revised and improved (according to news/blogs on the internet)... reference to http://www.shuttersnitch.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=1476 "3. What is the difference between the two models beside capacity and speed? Toshiba has said to have written the firmware for the newer W-02 model from the ground up. There are general improvements to the interface, but most importantly, the W-02 model can retain its settings even after a format*. If you format an original FlashAir card, you will also lose the password and network name that you have set for the card. *This must be enabled separately during the setup of the FlashAir W-02 card. If you don't enable this option, the card will work just like the original FlashAir and lose its settings after a format. (You can always change this option afterwards.) A unique and new feature also specific to the FlashAir W-02 is called "Photoshare". This option can be accessed through the card's web interface from your connected smartphone, tablet, or computer and allows you to select pictures stored on the card that will be accessible through a separate Wi-Fi network created by the card. This is useful if you need to share only certain pictures with your friends or family by having them connect to the Photoshare Wi-Fi network on their devices, allowing them to see only the pictures you've chosen to share with them. I've tested this function personally and found it to work well in practice. Both FlashAir models support Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n (2.4Ghz) connections and are secured with WPA2. Both models will work in most digital cameras with SDHC compliant slots, leaving out only older and earlier digital cameras with regular SD memory card slots. Please note that due to the Wi-Fi functionality on the card, just as on Eye-Fi, Transcend, etc., the battery life of your camera will be slightly affected."

I don't know exactly how fast you mean; but, since it can take very good images at night light, it means that it has a fast enough shutter speed. Also, I think that you can adjust the shutter speed in the settings (just check the user's manual that I have mentioned in my other response).

Increase the shutter speed by either (or both) using the flash or increasing the ISO. Increasing the ISO, according to David Peterson of DigitalPhotoSecrets means the sensor is more sensitive and so less light is needed to take the image.

Also, I just noticed this in the product manual:Page # 25, under "5. Shoot" section:- The indicator will blink red while the image is recorded to the memory card.- The image will appear on the screen for about two seconds.- You can take the second picture even while an image is displayed by pressing the shutter button again.I'm not sure if you have tried taking a second picture during this message being displayed on the screen. However, my class 6 SDHC card, as mentioned in my earlier post, somehow manages to reduce the amount of time this busy message is being displayed on the screen. Good luck!

I did a lot of research and reviewing and determined the best was the latest high speed versions, specifically this one at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ADFTUG/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . I am happy to say the choice was on the money as this card is amazingly fast, and greatly improves the use and experience with this camera. Hopefully this helpful, good luck!

Hi, If the function of the loop Ricording is OFF then it shoots one long scene until the memory card runs out. If the card is small (say 4 G'gh) which is enough for about 36 minutes. The more Memory, this card will record over more time. (Up to 32/64 GHz). Thank you :)

I see it is stated that one needs to purchase a memory stick.....I purchased a 8 memory card which am i suppose to use a memory card or memory stick??? What is the difference between a memory card and memory stick...I just purchased the camera and it has not arrived yet but would like to have the correct items needed when it does so i can start to take my pics.Thanks for Any Help In AdvanceSandy

Mine came with a 32 GBToshiba SDHC i. The card says 30MB/s, although I dont know what that actually means. The card cartridge that comes with the extras package is also cool, although I still find a standard USB Camera cord to be the better method of uploading my pictures to computer. I'm a little leery of constantly pulling the memory card out of the camera and into the computer. I wish that Canon had included the USB cord with the camera. The extra battery with this package costs $60 on Canon site so this is a really good deal. And 32 gigs is a huge card. It's amazing how inexpensive memory has gotten over the past few years.

Yes faster card can help clear your buffer faster and allow you to take more photos again. BUT, this is partially true as PRO cameras will surely take advantage of faster cards but budget/entry level camera may not matter too much. Remember in camera buffer sizes are different as well and it's write performance may differ too. I can not say how Nikon D5300 would perform but I'll tell you one thing, I would not user a regular Class 10 cards. I know Sandisk Extreme Pro is expensive but consider Sandisk Extreme model. Depending on the generation of the model... some are upto 45MB write, some were upto 60MB. So I can not say if this Extreme Pro card will help you as much as PRO cameras would get but it will for sure give you a better result. If price doesn't matter, go ahead and buy Extreme Pro, if not Extreme model will be more than enough.

I timed my processing speed on my camera and it is 8 seconds and seems to take longer after multiple shots. Thanks for the tip about the shutter button. I tried that and it works for about 3 shots than the camera seems to hesitate and the shutter button will not depress. Maybe that is how it is supposed to work and 3 consecutive shots is all that is needed. I just don't know if my camera is working as it should and I am expecting too much or if there is a defect in the camera.Thanks for the help.

Hi there -- this may be irrelevant, but they're asking me to communicate. I never used Canon, bought this slave to enable me to use auxiliary flash with a Fuji 3D camera. The idea is this: Most today's hi-tech flashes emit a series of light impulses to pre-evaluate the scene, the pop responsible for actual exposure (when the shutter opens) being the last one. To use an external slave flash you need either turn off all camera's pre-flashes (switch it to 'dumb' mode -- impossible with my Fuji) or use a slave that will ignore pre-flashes, such as this unit. That's why I bought it and it works for me. Try to read the manual for your Canon and see what your options are. It always helps to have a clear understanding what goes on. Cheers! M.B.

Hi Les and other fellow FZ-28/35 fans. I am a happy owner of an FZ35 which I bought last October, and its been around the world. Love the camera! Bought another one last week (B&H;) for a family member and it came with an 8GB Transcend. A perfectly fine SD card, but here's my question: will a SanDisk Extreme III Class 10 card (capable of 30MB/s read/write speeds) actually work any faster on the FZ35 than a Class 6 card? Specifically, will it write any faster (to the FZ35 specifically) and thus reduce shutter lag time? Any other cards that will work faster/fastest?Thanks!
