Image Capture Speed I was wondering what everybody that owns a Fuji s1000fd thought about the capture speed. I have a 3 month old son who is starting to smile really big. The problem I had with my Sony Cybershot is that by the time the picture was taken, my son was looking the other way not smiling. The guy at Radioshack told me about the Burst mode, and that it was really good. Does anybody have any feedback on my inquiry?

Did anybody ever let you know (or did you get the Fuji to find out) how quickly it will take a photo? I have a Canon and want to go with a smaller, less expensive, more durable model/make - but I need instant images.

Hello Sr's.I have just bought this camera, been playing around with the settings for a coupple of days, its just GREAT. Its not the fastest camera out there, it DOES have a slight delay from PRESS to SHOT, dont know exacly how long, but its noticeable.However this camera, on auto mode, allows you to set an option ON to "fast capture" this will make the Shutter speed way faster... Intented for use to take a pic on a racing event or sports event. I think with this setting ON might be sufficient to capture that lil' angel smile just fine!

I've played around with the settings (although I'm not an expert) but can not get it set, even when set for action shots, where I actually capture a shot of my son. Would you please share the specific settings to be able to capture a child's smile?

Love it, regards to waiting you can put the camera in a multi snap mode that will take one shot right after another, battery lasts forever, bought an extra one almost never get to use it, haven't noticed or paid attention to resolution changes on zooming. I also have a Sony Cybershot, the Casio is my goto camera, Cybershot takes slightly better quality pictures when you have the time, but the battery can go dead just sitting around for a few weeks, Casio is always there and ready to go.

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.

I have 4 young kids that never slow down and it seems to capture them just fine. Just took pictures at a demolition derby also and it seemed to capture that fine. LOVE the video feature on here too. Forgot to mention that.

Thanks for the info Corey! I agree that zooming during recording can get a bit nauseating if done too much/too fast but it is a nice feature to have in certain instances. At least the zoom works before/after like it does on my old 3.2MP Cyber-shot. Thanks for clearing that up.

How do you do, Mr. Ryan. I call it Suzuki, the staff of a bell. Thank you for your consideration. Since this mail is using the translator, it has made a mistake in it, and although it may be an acatalepsy, please allow it. Although I am carrying out simultaneous sale of this camera also in the store in Tokyo, it is still in stock. It is a late model of XP series of FUJIFILM. In order of XP60 -&gt;XP150 -&gt;XP200, it is the most expensive and performance is also the most wonderful. Is it an answer of the question? Moreover, please do not hesitate to ask a question.

Even if your baby moves, you're sure to get a good picture in just a few shots. Will depend on if you want the baby looking at you when you take the picture or if an action shot is find. I don't know the exact speed of the capture, but I haven't been disappointed with the camer so far.

I have owned Canon SX10 IS, and my husband is currently shooting with Nikon P100. I have no experience with Canon PowerShot G11; I own a G9. In terms of image quality, the Fuji trounces both Canon SX10 IS and Nikon P100. Nikon's video quality, on the other hand, leaves Fuji Finepix HS10 in the dust. Shutter lag is average. Fuji can't begin to complete with either of the Canons or the Nikon when it comes to shot-to-shot time. There is a burst mode which takes 3, 7 or 10 shots, depending on which option you've selected, but the write time afterward takes forever. If you're looking for a camera with plenty of action performance, the Fuji is not your best bet. However, if your style, like mine, is to take your time composing between shots, the camera is great. Despite its slow shot-to-shot performance, I appreciate being able to shoot in low light, something the SX10 just doesn't handle well, and I like seeing the details that are smudged by Canon's noise reduction--especially when shooting at ISO 400 and up.

I've also done alot of research on these two cameras. I have not purchased either one because I'm still deciding. I personally have seen some BEAUTIFUL "kid" pictures with a Sony camera. The only drawback I see with that camera is the expensive battery pack (plus you need an extra back-up) and some poeple have difficulty using the connecting software. The Canon camera looks cheaper in the stores. When you decide...let me know!

I looked at a ton of options, and at the end of the day I tried the Fuji and have been very happy with it's performance. The only thing that has been a bother is the fact that when you zoom, the speed of the camera is reduced, so when fully zoomed your F-stop if somewhere around 5.6... Other than that, the picture quality, clarity, and performance has been great! And in terms of size, I've carried this all over in my pocket hardly noticing it was there! Defintely a great deal overall! - Hope this helps! - Jeff

I had the S8200 with 40x optical zoom and same sensor as the SL1000. I own a Canon SX40 and SX50 and both of the Canon's render higher quality images and will lock focus faster and hold it(especially at the long end) than the Fuji. I do like the Fuji colors though. If not going above 8x10 in prints, the Fuji is attractive. That said, the SX50 is a very refined camera that does everything very well. I suggest you visit BestBuy or anywhere that you can compare the two. Take a SD card with you and ask them to let you shoot some images in store or better yet, outside. Take your SD card home and see what you like/dislike. I had the S8200 with 40x optical zoom and same sensor as the SL1000.

Thank you for the tip.I like the camera very much, great zoom, it also has facial recognition.If you get it, one little note, make sure the rec, is on when your recording.I believe I hit it too quick when I put the camera on, and it did not register.Yes I did not record a whole chunk that I thought I did.Wish you the best with your camera stuff.

Sandra, the listed shutter speeds go from 2 seconds to 1/1600 of a second. It was a gift for my daughter, and I asked her if it takes pictures quickly. She informed me it does, but the burst mode is a little slow, again listed as 1 frame per second, which is on paper a little slow for certain sports photos, butr she has not noticed any practical problem. She loves the sweep panorama function.

Barry/Richard,I'm still having a heck of a time trying to get a decent snapshot of my dog indoors with typical family room lighting ( not dark but not bright either ) with the S8000. If he so much as wiggles his tail, all is a blur. With higher ISOs I don't expect much sharpness. Faster shutter leads to very dark pics. What am I missing? Do I have to use flash - a tripod is out since he won't sit still that long.Thanks guys,Tony

I didn't like the image quality of either of them. I think the sensor is too small. The s120 is better than the s110 with faster focusing and a better sensor. I may consider spending a little more for the Sony rx100 with a bigger sensor (price dropped).

I received my SX10 IS two days ago. In very bright light the camera is speedy at focusing and writing images. Indoors is a different story. Even with the ISO set to 800 (which does produce some usable images, a step forward for Canon), focusing is very, very slow--if the camera achieves focus at all. It does have a continuous shooting mode. I've been a dedicated Canon user for 30 years. This is my fifth PowerShot, and it is the first one I've owned that has been a challenge to get good pictures in manual mode, which I use almost exclusively. Before I send the SX 10 back I intend to give it every opportunity under a variety of conditions to show me its chops, but my gut tells me it will get returned after its workout. When zooming the lens defaults to its largest aperture, 5.7 just after you pass the 35mm equivalent of a 100mm, and image stabilization just doesn't quite meet the challenge. Additionally, all of my pictures have had a lackluster blue cast which I can correct in Photoshop, but I'd like to be able to enjoy at least a FEW pictures right out of the camera without a lot of post editing! Hope this helps.
