I have used it in some action shots, but mostly in weddings or school band concerts. You will need to set the camera in manual focus for some fast pace events. This model is a little old now, you may be able to find a newer model for less $$.

Its just excellent camera in generally, I tried it on rollercoaster, it was awsome. I decided not to use on the highest quality its needless high and keep 2-3Gb for 3-4 minut video.

Of course the main reason to buy this camera is for shooting HD video but it is acceptable with still images as well. The image stabilization helps to freeze the action but not as well as a dedicated SLR or higher mega pixel point and shoot.

Yes this camcorder does take excellent action shots, and for the other post you get the MAC software from the Creative site and it works with the original Vado HD.You can buy the original V-HD with 8 gig for less than the newer version. No difference other than color, memory and software. You can get the software you need from Creative.

The camera does well for both because there are specific camera settings (night/low light and sports/action). I took great shots at our bonfire the other night and the sports/action setting takes multiple shots per second. I have never been disappointed with this camera.

If you can follow action with an LCD (no eye level finder) the camera is capable of making an image. It would not be my first choice for action shots.

The Photo quality was descent for an action camera. It's not a DSLR thought so don't keep your expectations to high. It's only 8MP. If you can pay the the extra cash go with a GoPro. This doesn't handle vibrations nearly as well as GoPro. Also, the GoPro will over saturate the colors. It's fake but makes your videos stand out with green grass being very green and blue sky being very blue.

Yes. With proper lens and camera settings this camera and lens will work for action shots. Advantage is size and weight of the 1 Nikor contrasted to full size digital slr.

The shutter speed is fast ... action shot it can take very quick but it also depends on jow fast the movement is because if its extremely fast yoi pic will come out all out of focus and blurry.

I need a camera that takes good action pictures indoors. My daughter is a dancer and my point and shoot pics are always disappointingly blurry.

It's great. I actually use the camera to take pictures of martial arts. The speed is fast, I can always capture the moment that I want. The only problem is that the flash always goes off in this mode. I am not sure if I can add flash in the action mode -- I have not figured out yet.

I have not used it for action shots - just for landscape shots, so I cannot answer your question.

It does pretty good action shots. I've done some of my people jumping into the pool, my dog chasing ball, and my dog swimming. Just make sure you get the nikon 1 j2 or j3 series because because I owned the j1 first and it takes horrible action pictures. Hope this helps.

I love the camera it was a good step up from the older Rebel. I shoot allot of action sports photography and it works great when I shoot in a gym that is poorly lit and you can't use a flash during the game. I use a 70-200 f2.8 lens and I get good Basketball photos. I want to upgrade to the 1D mark4 as soon as I can afford it!!

It is for stage photo application. So it should be fine for motion taking video. Regards, kimoutlet

It has burst shot action. You might find some limitation if the camara is off and you want to capture a quick shot. I've kept the camara on and gone walking trying to capture "moments". Works pretty well. I understand there are other camaras that are good for that. Don't know brands or prices though. The Samsung has been a lot of fun for low cost.

It has great frame rates taking 4fps. The action setting makes shooting sporting events really easy I use it all the time for swim meets and my pictures turn out great. Make sure you look at the white balance for the indoor stadiums and other highly lit events so you don't use a flash and wash out your subjects.

This camera does not have a "sports" setting. It does have a "burst" setting for continuous shooting when you hold down the shutter button, but it is not real fast. If you are taking single shots, its not too bad, especially outdoors.

Yes. Just it to action and it works great. You can also adjust the ISO and shutter to get good shots.
