How is the re-take speed? A fast re-take speed is an essential quality for me.

In recent usage, the camera was quick but wasn't tested at rapid fire. However, the instructions say there is a technique for the click button that shoots rapid fire. Not sure that will help you.

It's decent. I don't find myself waiting too long to shoot again, but it's regular point and shoot use for me.

I am sorry have not used yet due to needing a memory card as I did not get the correct size. Thank you for your time in this matter. Betty DAVIS.

Sorry but I am not happy with this camera. I had one before like it that was great so I purchased the same one again after mine went kaput but unfortunately it doesn't take that great of pictures. Ourside are better than inside.

As long as you don't have the flash on, it really fast. Not sure why its slower if you have the flash on.

Pretty quick actually. My mom uses the cam to take pictures of my 6 year old brother so you can imagine how fast he moves. and the camera is able to capture it all so I'm pretty happy with that function.

No issues here...but it depends on your definition of fast. I don't run faster than around 75 mph.

Though I have only used it a couple of times the speed seems to be pretty fast when it loads a CD. Hope I helped.

the cheapest and all around great quality is the memorex 3 pack of min DV-RW which simply means digital video re-writeable there is a case for each disc and the average cost is about 9 US dollars, these work fine and I have not had a minutes trouble with these, I bought mine at office depot, this camera is truly a no brainer, it charges fast, but you should buy extra batteries which i bought generic off of ebay really cheap and there is no noticeable difference.

That is the problem...you can't do rapid frames.The camera looks great, feels great to hold, but if you need something to capture a fast paced activity, this isn't the one for you.I like it and recommend it for a very casual user, however will be upgrading to a more advanced piece of equipment as soon as my budget allows.

Depends on what you need. 45mb/s works well for just portraits. And even fine for speed as long as you shoot in jpeg. But I was shooting fast in RAW on full frame and 45 was not doing it for me.But if it says 45 then it is. But if you have no problems no need to upgrade

I have no complaints. There is a mode setting for fast action which sets a relatively higher ISO speed and opens up the F stop to maximize the shutter speed. And of course, if you halfway depress the shutter, it virtually eliminates shutter lag.

I'd recommend it at least. Or, I'd go faster if you can. I'm finding that sometimes with Photoshop there's some speed issues for me, or maybe I'm just picky.

I have one. It is VERY smooth and you can zoom from camera or the handle and you can program the speed of the zoom. Fast on camera, slow on handle. NICE NICE NICE

I agree with Gilberto. No problems with speed or writing. It is a good machine.

Hey Douglas, yes the speed is not a problem you can transfer files quickly, though I am not sure how long it takes for 32 gb. I use to transfer everything from my laptop to this external drive. But I would not recommend it. After one year of having it, all of the sudden the drive was not responding it, and was not retreiving my data anymore. Basically all the data I had about 250 gb files was burned and lost. It was quite a tragedy for me. But a classical ipod that I used to have with is also USB was much more worthy to keep it and it still has my data since 7 years that I have it. So, it's better if you buy a classical apple ipod, one of those which is also for music, but it's at the same time a hard drive, or take any other drive that you know from people that are reliable for few years. For example, i never even dropped this disc, I kept it always safe and in a soft case not to be damaged, and it was quite a great shock for me that all of the sudden it just stopped responding and never opened anymore, after only one year of having it!! Cheers and take care! Think before you buy this item, it's not reliable!

I transfer a lot of large files (video and database files in the multi gb range) and I experience much faster transfer times with this drive and 3.0 drives in general. I'd estimate 5 times the speed, maybe more, without actually using a stopwatch.

Thanks; I'd missed that comment in the dpreview review. Seems to contradict what I found at kenrockwell.com/tech/cf-sd.htm -- basically, that a faster card matters for downloading (e.g. camera to computer) but not in modern cameras unless you overflow their internal buffer memory. Ken's description sounds like picture-taking speed won't be inhibited with a slower card because of the camera's buffer, which is what I care about most. Slower playback and downloading is fine. In other words, write speed is more important to me than read speed and apparently the camera's buffer effectively compensates for slower cards when writing to them.

I have a similar question, I'll just add it here. Is it fast enough, for example, take pictures jumping in the air (without being blurry)? Just so I can have a perspective.

It's great. I have ultra super dooper high speed at work and its only a smidge slower. Not noticeable. I am very satisfied.

Too busy shooting to write. Anyway, I have a red copy.Sum: great investment. Clean/sharp images, fast and crisp focus (even in low light), superb high-ISO performance (cut my flash use in half over the holidays), excellent user interface, easy to handle, etc. Wish it had a viewfinder indicator for AF point but I'm able to work around that with no problem.I'm keeping the K-X (general usage) to complement my K-7 (event and outdoor photography). If I had to pick just one, I might even stick with the K-X. For my style and situations, it's that good.

I'm going to replace my 500MB 7200rpm hard drive. How will this compare in speed? I'm basically at 90-93% full due to photos and music!
