Canon removed the time lapse feature from this camera I always thought this was a nice feature. Would you still buy the camera now that you know it doesn't have this feature?

if you want to start using time lapse, i would suggest a digital SLR. you will get much better quality.

I used my canon only a few times. Did not try the video, but I found out that if you do not hold the camera steady the shots come out very blurry. It seems impossible to get a clear shot because the camera is too small.

So glad I found this post as I'm in the same boat and just printed out the specs on both cameras. I'm curious as to which camera you ended up getting and how you like it? My original intent was to upgrade from my Canon Powershot due to a long lag time in between being able to shoot the next picture now that my kids are in sports, but I would still like clear nice pictures. What did you get and how do you like it?

I would go to canon.com and check out their website instead. I just make music videos basically and am no tekkie. Their facebook page ALSO accepts messages. I'd try their web site or visit their FB page. There's an upgrade I haven't done yet cuz it takes the usb cable that came w/the camera and I'm not filming until spring. Good luck, those are questions imo for Canon. (their editing software isn't good as per a call w/one of their peeps.) Everything else is great but get w/Canon imho. Happy New Year too.

this is VERY disappointing.... a camera with all these features should do "time lapse"

The camera does have a time lapse mode. This is the description from http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/DMC-TS25R"Time Lapse ShotHave you ever wanted to capture a flower blooming, or clouds floating across the sky? The Time Lapse Shot feature on the DMC-TS25 gives you the creative control to set the start time, interval for taking the images, and the number of pictures to shoot. Once that is set, the camera will automatically record the images without you."

The Canon G11 does not have built in time lapse capability. You would have to purchase a remote shutter release with timing capability. This will allow you to set preferred intervals which will automatically take pictures for perfect time lapse. I suggest searching on the internet for remote devices. These devices cost about$40 or so.

As far as I know Canon has not provided a way of tracking shutter count in this camera. There is supposed to be some sort of 3rd party app to track current use. Past use does not seem to be available.

I also consider this an important feature. I was decided to buy this camera, but when I was in the store checking whether I could zoom while in the motion picture mode and I discovered I could not do so, I gave up... It's a pitty because apart of that, the camera is nearly perfect for me...Ken Techbuyer, maybe you should have start recording instead of only selecting the motion picture mode? This camera has no zoom while recording movies.

Thank you for your comment. I found it very helpful. I naturally prefer Canon but really want the wide-angle offered in this Sony camcorder. Canon missed the boat on wide angle in my view.

Sorry Bob, never did time lapse photos, can say that the videos are clear, camera works well, and i enjoy watching all the wild life. MM

Yes, I regret buying this camera due to the shutter lag- which ultimately seems to result in blurred photos if the subject is moving. The older canon Powershots like the sx100 did not have this problem.

Nah, it doesn't. but it can record for a really long time on its little battery and then you can speed up your footage? maybe the better tradeoff is the cool little slow-mo it does. its only really a 10 second slow-mo. but the slow-mo is silky smooth. sooo... I mean I really like the camera.but yeah, no time lapse.

No, the time lapse effect has to be triggered manually, that's to say, to get a sequence of still pictures and replay them in rapid succession.

It only has a shutter button and a two second delay. If you want something for time lapse photography this probably isn't it.

Hi Salem, apparently this Sony Camcorder doesn't support or have time lapse feature. -Ely

I have not tried that as yet. But if it doesn't have that feature, that would be a poor reason not to purchase the camera. I take crisp clear photos with it every time I use it. I wouldn't trade it for anything else unless Sony came up with a better model.
