The quality average. But what average means, you'd better find out yourself browsing the web for sample images. However, I returned the camera for the complete inability to shoot adequate NIGHT PHOTOS. This happened because the longest shutter time is of only 4 seconds and it isn't enough for good quality night photos. There is another setting that allows 15 seconds but that is too much, and between 4 and 15 seconds there is nothing.

This camera takes 4 AA batteries. Surprisingly, they last a long time. I used it several times, several days a week, and it was at least 2 weeks before i had to change them. I love this camera! It takes amazing close ups & stills. Not great for sports or action bc the pics are blurry. ;0)

I've taken a couple thousand pictures with mine since December 07. I think the problem is the image size/resolution setting. If you take every photo like you might want a huge enlargement from it, the process of recording to the card is what takes a long time. I think it's going to be slow, but I'd play around with smaller resolution etc. to find a bearable compromise.@S.K., yes it seems worst if you're using flash and stale batts.

I believe it is 12800 or 25600 by default. I set mine to 12800 as max due to noise. But you can change the auto ISO range. Yes you can set the shutter speed to any setting and the auto ISO will compensate for the shutter speed. My only warning is at high shutter speeds except in good light, the ISO may get pushed to a point a lot of noise is introduced.

Depending on how you set it on your settings, it can be delayed for as long as you wished, but Sony has it in the box by default; so you will need to configure your settings. I have mine for 1 sec so I can see it quickly and depending on the circumstances, I will have it off if it is necessary, others, I would move it to 3 to 5 seconds to study it if any adjustments is necessary and this gives me a chance to delete this "image" right on the spot if it didn't turn out the way it was supposed to without having to go to the menu and review everything there. Everyone is different, so take your time and configure your Sony Camera settings the way you would like for it to be - but note: Some settings in some areas, are not applicable while others it would be available so it pays to take your time to configure everything everywhere.

mmmm it doesn't have a preset for shooting no, but put it in aperture priority and you're good to go. with this camera, you don't want presets. hard to explain unless you;re holding it and using it. i'm shooting pro with this baby with the 70-200 2.8 and it's a dream. i do wish it had more focus points and i don't like the card slot at the bottom of the camera. not deal breakers, but it is a little annoying at times. at the end of the day, the photo is what matters and this camera is truly helps me take stunning pics - every time. i've had this camera since december.

Nope, it has a quick shutter lag speed, I believe it's called. This was the number one priority for me too when researching cameras. I'm happy with this one. It also takes good pics in low light on the right setting and good action shots. Very happy with the camera for the price and size.

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 have captured still photos while recording by pressing the shutter button. the picture is captured and the recording continues. I was also confused with this, but when I reviewed the video I eventual saw the pictures taken after the video play back. Yes, I agree this camera is awesome. if you have a smartphone or tablet the sony app turn them into remote controls for the camera through Wi-Fi. I am sorry, if too much info, please disregard.

Hello D. Hall have you already bought the camera?? I did and I am not very happy with it. the pictures it takes in the auto mode are not what I was waiting.. and the pictures with the movement mode.. are not clear enough... so tell me please if you get it and if it is working fine. Susana from Ecuador.

You know, it tracks fine. once you make sure that its setup. I actually use it for long exposure photography, and I use longer open shutters than I could otherwise. to get a 1 minute exposure, I'll shoot 3 20 second exposures for example and then stack them afterwards, rather than stacking 20 3 second exposures. I break up the shots to eliminate any tracking errors.

Yes, it can do exposures as long as 99 hours! (If only the camera battery would last that long!)

Shutter lag is ok..it's just the time it takes for for the camera reset to take the next photo that I am not happy with...I guess I should not have such high expectations for a $149 camera..

Camera has a very fast electronic shutter and can take up to 40 frames/second. I have used the 10 frame per second mode for some outdoor shots that came out fine - just a lot of pictures to go review. Subject was also far away so quick focusing was not an issue.

Thank you for your response. I seem to do OK with close up but longer focal lengths give me a hard time. I may send it in just for them to check it out. I like the camera but I havent ever been so stymied before.

In most cases in low light the picture is a little darker. There is a feature on the camera that tells you to flip up the flash. When you do that there is no problem. As far as the battery it last much longer then I am used too. I can take about 250 pictures. If I set it at the ECO mode I can take 330 pictures There is a feature that tells you that the battery is getting low. The charger comes with the camera and it recharges the battery in 2 hours. The battery will last 1.5 hours of continuous shooting. Hope this helps you
