is there much of a delay between pictures

Not too bad, and you can shoot three at a time, separated by milliseconds. But this *us* an $80 camera, so best for casual snaps in general. One feature I like which is hard to suss out whether comes with any given camera is the mild amber beam used to autofocus in indoor evening shots; invaluable.

You can enable continuous shooting in auto mode, and it will take pictures very quickly, so there will not be a delay.

there is about a 1 second delay with taking pictures; at least, it is when i'm trying to take a picture of my dog. there is a mode to place the camera in for pets; i tried it once. i do believe there was still a delay but the picture wasn't blurry. hope this helps.

From a cnet review: It takes about 0.7 second to shoot two sequential photos, either JPEG or raw+JPEG (the camera doesn't support plain raw).

Takes about a second to switch sources. picture goes out then comes back. No blur or fade really.

There is no time delay. As soon as you press all the way down the picture is captured. I love this camera. It's great!

No, only when you want to focus, then that is normal. The there is a delay before the next shot but one can skip that if you want. Best camera we've had, great close-up shots.

For me, there is kind of a long delay. It doesn't really take photos fast. Also, when it is not zoomed in all the way, it doesn't take as good photos as it does when it is in full zoom (weird). Also, the quality of the photos indoors are not that great. The quality of the photos outdoors are better.

If the lighting isn't that good the delay might be rather noticeable. Also one has to take into account zoom. In average I miss 1 out of 10 pictures when shooting kids and pets. I consider this as a good result.

There isn't a lot of lag time, but I was constantly changing settings to get the best pictures. I have hardly used it because it took too much time and found that my iphone took better pictures.

There is a small delay but not bad. I get great pictures! The battery life is great. I chg mine if I'm going to party & then use it at home often & have never had a dead battery.

If you're holding the remote in close proximity (to be sure it registers), you will see a black screen for about a 1/10 of second between the two pictures. Time-wise that's not significant, just a definite interruption. (You would need the remote because the button on the device only switches to the next of four possible inputs.)

Haven't found any "lag" between shots at 2-3 seconds each. Most of my photos are portraits and landscapes.

Hi Richard, waiting time between two shots is relatively long, but there is an function called "continuous shooting" which I like. Battery life time is really great. Zoom does not diminish final picture. In regards high speed video, there is a bug in the software. After lets say 1 minute of the high speed video, buffer gets full and final video is than affected :( Other than that I am very happy with this camera! Cheers, Milan

No wait time between shots. battery life is exceptional. Picture quality is good...whenever you you zoom past the optical limit and start using the digital zoom it degrades the image quality and that is true with any camera. You will like like the camera, very easy to use.

I have never had more than a 2 second delay. There is an option to put the camera on action so the delay time is minimal
