Does this camera take quick, crisp action pictures with minimal blurring?

Ok noob, this is how it goes. With any DSLR, you choose the trade-off between shutter speed and noise. It helps to have a fast lens, like a 50 mm f/1.8. Set the camera on aperture-priority, and set the aperture to max. That means get the f-number as low as possible, i.e., f/1.8 is better than f/3.5. On a bright sunny day that will stop almost any action in its tracks and be as crisp as can be. If you don't have enough light, you might have to start cranking up the ISO, but that will introduce noise into the photo. So that's how you choose the trade-off between shutter speed and noise with a DSLR. A newer sensor will get you a better trade-off, so you can get to higher ISOs (like 1600 or 3200) without adding too much noise, while with a little bit older camera like this you'll start seeing noise even at ISO 800.

Yes. The lens is very fast, f 1.4 and with higher iso and manual control to set shutter speed and aperture it can perform like a digitalSLR camera. Low light, nonflash action always a challenge.

The Camara is very slow, so the way I get action shots is to preplan. If I know where the action is going to be I focus on a spot and wait for the object to come into view...then I can catch a shot....the shutter speed needs to be set at a fast speed. This camera is not the best for action shots...I do not use it for that.

For us action shots have been great as long as you are on the action setting... they tend to be blurry if you stay on automatic

Depends. It's a little slow if you want to use autofocus on action shots but amazing depth of field and sharp images. But if it's bright light and you have some experience tracking moving objects, I'd say it's a great choice.

No, this is a very cheap and worthless action camera. If you are looking for an action camera I suggest you spend the extra money and buy a GoPro.

No; the lens is crystal clear. The pictures are blurry only if you dont focus the photo correctly or if you have unsteady hands. Also, there is a little bit of blur around the edges of the camera, which shows up in the pictures, but I don't mind this because I think it gives it a cool effect.

Actually to be honest with, it seems to be pretty fast to me at least. It´s pretty impressive how the shutter reacts, as soon as I press the button to take the picture. This is why I bought in the first place; Id say in circumstances where there a lot of movemente its probably less than a second for the camera to record the picture taken I´ve taken so many at a time, its awesome.

It does on certain settings. It has some intelligent lighting/focus settings and an anti motion setting that takes rapid fire frames without much distortion. It has produced some gorgeous photos. However, if you are wanting to shoot exclusively manual, you may not be thrilled with its recovery speed.

Pics are great in low light with no flash and the delay is very short. I love this camera!

NOOOOO!You would be lucky to have it focus in time to capture the action. I originally bought this camera to take action photos of my sons's high school football games. I could not have been more disappointed. I returned this camera.

It's not rapid fire. You press the button, it beeps, then there is a pause for about 2 seconds and then the flash and capture, then there is a 3 second pause while it shows you the picture on the display and then another 5 second delay before you can take another picture. I would not use this for action photography.

Hey there, This camera is a great action shot camera, I used it for my little sister's gymnastic meets as well as soccer shoots and running shots, I just bumped up the shutter speed and the incredible focus motor did the rest!

That's pretty much the point of this lens - sports. Fast focus and f/2.8 should allow a fast enough shutter speed to capture action in most situations.

No, it does have a good selection of modes and if you need a "sports" for fast action you can go into the setup mode and manually change the shutter speed, The camera takes very good pictures. My only complaint is that the camera body is made out of plastic and feels cheap.

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.

The shutter is fast so yes, but the image quality is really grainy and not that great.
