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.

search on this - does the TS4 have time lapse - BTW - I've had the camera for 4 months and its excellentHighly recommend it if the specs fit what you're shooting. I free dove down to 38 ft and it displayed the depth.Battery lasted me underwater and on land for about 160 shots. Only turned it off twice all day, about a 6-7 hourshooting day so take that into account but I didn't use the time lapse feature.

I too have wanted to buy a T2i for a while, ever since I noticed the announcement in February. Then, it was seemingly always out of stock at Amazon. Perhaps I haven't waited long enough, or maybe it just wasn't meant to be. Although I have bought 5 Canon cameras over the years, and I considered myself a Canon loyalist, I am beginning to wonder if maybe I should buy a Nikon as my first digital SLR.

The short answer is NO! Good solid, entry level slider. Works well for my purposes. I don't use it for time lapse. I shoot time lapse on a fixed tripod with an intervalometer. If I was going to use a slider for time lapse it would have to be motorized and more professional grade than this unit.

The answer to your question is an unfortunate "No!". It would have been great had the manufacturer and designers included that feature in what is otherwise a very good camera.

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

No, to do time lapse photography you will need to purchase a remote timer which is sold separately as canon or third party brand model.

Agree with Bob ring's comment. The only thing I am disappointed with is battery life is a little short sometimes. I have got some great shallow water pictures with it. Stills as well as videos. It is a lot of camera for the money. Do not try to change the battery with wet hands. Mine stopped working for a short time until I dried it out. I do really like it. I do recommend buying a couple extra batteries. I have taken around 6000 pictures with mine.

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.

An amazingly short time. When I called service to get an answer to that question, the tech had me set the camera back to factory settings and that seemed to help. I never timed it, but on a recent vacation I changed batteries as often as my traveling companion who had a Canon something.

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.

I have captured still photos while recording by pressing the shutter button. the picture is captured and the recording continues. I was also confused with this, but when I reviewed the video I eventual saw the pictures taken after the video play back. Yes, I agree this camera is awesome. if you have a smartphone or tablet the sony app turn them into remote controls for the camera through Wi-Fi. I am sorry, if too much info, please disregard.

Yes I also noticed that. I had purchased this camera last month and returned mine for an exchange due to possibly being defective (after an email exchange with Canon support). Unfortunately they then emailed me that they no longer had it in stock and didn't know when they were going to get more. They could only offer me a refund. They finally showed it back in stock but then I was amazed at the price! I even emailed them to find out why but just got a non answer (to be expected I guess) about how their suppliers set the prices. As you say, this price is higher than Canons, so it makes you wonder what they are playing at. I guess they don't want anyone to buy it from them...!

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

I am not an expert photographer but I think the shutter lag is too long. Just took my camera to Africa for three weeks. Overall, I was very pleased with it, good zoom, great pictures. My photos were almost as good as those with much bigger fancier lots-of lens type camera. but I did have to wait too long to snap a second shot and I know I missed some photos.

I also have a Canon and am not impressed with it. I just purchased the Sony W170 because I have a family member who used at Christmas. I was impressed with the size and ease of use. I will have to replace all my memory cards and batteries. I am not too upset about the batteries as my Canon Sureshot took about 5 pictures and died. I even bought an extra battery, same thing. I am excited about getting the camera. Should arrive by Jan 6th.

With this Sony model you cannot take a still photo while shooting video. On some previous models you could. Sony took that feature away on this one - and I was unhappy to find that out (after I bought the camera)
