Is it very easy to get the camera in and out quickly to catch a fast-moving shot and keep walking without having to stop to fiddle with it?

So-So. It's fairly easy to remove, but it probably takes 2-3 seconds; no problem with walking. Putting it on takes maybe 10 seconds and is a bit harder to do while walking. It's easier to put on than some reviewers report - you don't need to turn it inside out. Neoprene slides very easily, even over zoom lenses, but snapping the snaps means you have to line them up and look at them to do it.

No. There's a button you push and it flips out. Then you have to wait for it to charge. It isn't too long, but definitely inconvenient if you need to take a picture quickly.

It's normally very simple to use. Canon gives you enough option to play around with your options on automatic captures.

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.

This camera is fabulous at fast moving sports. It can take a shot a second, consecutively. I love it!

Yes! Usually quickly, and with good quality too. Lighting is a bit of a problem in the dark as there is no flash..

Yes, there is slight delay between photos when taking successive pictures rapidly--the camera takes a few seconds to process a shot before being ready for the next one.Not a problem for still scenes or landscapes, etc., but for photos of sports scenes or active children,you should consider a faster camera (and, of course, with a higher price). It's a good camera, easy-to-use, but has its limitations. Good luck.

I'm not sure if this will help or not, but I have found that when I want to take pictures of kids or moving sports objects - I select a mode like the sports mode and then push the shutter down half way to allow the camera time to focus on the subjects. Then I continue to follow the subject while holding the shutter half way down and when the shot I want appears I just complete pushing down the shutter and the picture will be taken instantly. If I don't push the shutter down half way first, I end up with the same 1 second delay between the picture I wanted to capture and what actually shows up on the viewfinder. Hope that helps. Mike

There is a bit of a delay, so it's not great for taking action shots. It's a generally great camera, and I love it a lot, but you do have to anticipate a shot.

Yes it is very easy to use, but doesn't match the capabilities of a DSLR. But it it does work well.

Yes. The first two answers are correct. Very easy. Uses a watch type battery that fits under pull out on upper rh side of camera as you look at the back.

The shutter is fairly fast in good light. Aside from that, the camera takes about .5 Second to warm-up from an inactive state.

Yes, it is very straight forward. Ther are clips that are easily released to extend the legs and an easy detach base that connects to the bottom of your camera.

Like most point and click digital cameras, this has an auto-focus. When you depress the button part way, it will focus. Then a complete press will take that picture. If you do not pause to focus and just push the button hard, it will have a very slight pause as it does have to take the time to focus. If it didn't you pictures would be blurry.I used this on a trip where I needed a bunch of spontaneous pictures and the lag was not annoying. Quickly taken shots came out great.

Sorry, I haven't tried that yet. On my old camera, if I remember correctly, it was instantly.

I'm comfortable walking with one hand protecting my camera from swinging. I'm confident you'll find your camera will swing too much without your hand being on the camera, too.

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