"How's the picture taking speed? Is there much of a delay from when you push the button and when it takes the picture?

To me, the lag time is virtually none. Very fast, in my layman's opinion. It also has a burst mode.

This little camera is the best purchase I've ever made. We just got back from Ireland and took more than 380+ photo's that are postcard perfect! I am not a techy and don't know much about camera's, so like it was simple. You can take average exposure, which is quick enough, or do faster in-action motion speed, where it snaps 3 pictures in like 2 seconds flat. There really isn't any delay, it's super efficient and takes high quality photo's. People don't believe that I took such a high caliber photo with this tiny little camera. I give it 5 **** stars!

For a super zoom it is light and reasonably small. It does take low light pictures and there is no delay in picture taking. Turn on and it is ready to go.

The sx260 doesn't have shutter lag but it has picture lag. This it's where it takes a little too long to wait between repetitive shots

My wife and I bought this camera for a trip we took to Italy, I worked out great, we took several hunder pictures but I never noticed a delay. Make sure you use at least a class 10 SD card and i believe you will be satisfied.

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.

I have not found any delay. However, I'm just an amateur when it comes to taking pics, so I'm not sure how important it is for you to know the length of the shutter lag.

I have yet to find a camera with no delay on fast shutter speed. The zoom is good for a camera of this size but will not do the same job as a lens that zooms to 200 plus. Don't get me wrong, this is a great small camera but if you are looking for GREAT safari photos, go to a much larger camera that has that capacity.

The delay before shooting isn't very noticeable to me.... I love my camera! Great scene capabilities... and effects.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but if you are asking if there is a delay while pressing the button on the transmitter, it is instantaneous in response. No different than pushing the shutter button directly on the camera. I've had this unit for a number of months now and really like it. Works really well.

In my opinion, when using the video function there is a delay. there may be a slight delay in picture mode but not more than any other camera I have used. hope this helps!

there is a lag time of about three seconds, great camera though. My favorite feature is that you can turn the flash ON, even on bright sunny days.

This camera has functionality to take some pictures sequentially, but if you want to push the button manually you will have to wait a little, like 1 or 2 second between.

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

Yes, I must wait for about a second or two for the camera to reach focus. This is in the program [P] mode, or the Auto. Also, if I see a perfect picture, there is a noticeable time lapse between when I press the button and the shutter "releases" [electronically]. This means that on many occasions I have to take another picture and hope for better.

You can set the aperture to be as fast or pretty much as slow as you want it with this camera. No delay that I can tell, when you have a fast shutter speed set.

I have a Nikon D7100 and I have been using this from time to time [unless my other external flash runs out of battery]. But there is a fraction of a second delay when you press the shutter button. I noticed this when I took photos of few things. I think it's just my observation for few things that is unusual. Don't take my word for it. If you buy this to save some money, go for it. But if you are willing to spend a little more expensive, go for the external flash that is built for Nikon. I only bought this item for emergencies because the flash can reach about 30-40 ft indirectly onto the subject without any issues. I hope this answers your query.
