When you click to take picture, is it focus & click? Is it quick, so you can take a another picture? Or is there a delay?

I agree with the #2 comment but my camera was a lemon inoperable after 3 months (jammed lens), and Nikon wouldn't repair it under warranty. Did an emergency replacement with a Canon Powershot A1400 which takes great pictures.

There is quite a delay.it does take beautiful pictures and the zoom is fantastic!

You hold it half way down, it focuses, and then you press it all the way down and it takes the picture. There is a 3-6 second delay between pictures.

I also wondered about a delay with this remote. I emailed Satechi and heard back from "Arthur". He said there is no ability for a 2-3 second delay. From what reviewers have said about this remote you may be able to hide the remote but take the pictures anyway because of the Radio Frequency.

The start time is fast with the ability to take a picture right away. If you were in a zoom mode, the camera will open to that zoom mode. If you were zoomed in at maxium, there is a slight pause as the camera is trying to focus in on the object you are pointing at. This time frame can be shortened by pressing the shutter half way forcing the camera to focus.

Actually to be honest with, it seems to be pretty fast to me at least. Its 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 Ive taken so many at a time, its awesome.

My camera has two modes. One is a time delay feature. So I'll get everything ready, set a delay, hold the camera out and wait for the timer. The other mode is a rapid picture mode. It allows me to have the camera take pictures once a minute until it runs out of memory. So I set the camera to start taking time slice pictures. The first few pictures are me positioning the camera and throw away. The last few pictures are me turning the camera off and throw away. Hopefully I get a few good pictures in the middle. It has been a little trial and error but I'm getting better at it.

In recent usage, the camera was quick but wasn't tested at rapid fire. However, the instructions say there is a technique for the click button that shoots rapid fire. Not sure that will help you.

Better than most (as far as an average photographer is concerned) in terms of taking one photo at a time by clicking. . By mistake on recent trip the camera began taking fairly rapid shots of the same scenes (I'd pushed the wrong buttons), so it is now obvious to me -- though I will not use the feature -- that it can take mutiple shots fairly quickly.

There is no time delay. As soon as you press all the way down the picture is captured. I love this camera. It's great!

Any point and shoot camera will have delay.... how much are you willing to tolerate? There may be statistics about the length of delay with this very camera at some other more technical rating sites, but you can assume there will be some, and that it can be minimized by prefocusing with a halfway shutter depress, and/or using sports mode. That always helped on my older Canon model.

For me, there is kind of a long delay. It doesn't really take photos fast. Also, when it is not zoomed in all the way, it doesn't take as good photos as it does when it is in full zoom (weird). Also, the quality of the photos indoors are not that great. The quality of the photos outdoors are better.

It sounds like you have your shutter set to a 10-second delay. Typically this setting is used when the photographer wants to be in the picture. Press the button to the left of the SET button and choose the single-shot or continuous option. Then the camera will take the picture as soon as you press the shutter.

We were kind of in the same boat. We had always had traditional digital cameras in the past but once we had kids we got really frustrated with the shutter speed. We got this camera so we could stop "missing the moment" and we've been really happy with it. You can put it in auto mode and it's still a pretty simple camera. Point & Shoot. But it has encouraged us to get a little more into photography. We got a bigger zoom and I have really enjoyed capturing shots of birds at our backyard feeder. Hope this helps!

It does not take pictures immediately; it has some delay. It also has some delay after the picture was taken before you can take the next. This was the main reason I had to return it.

The shutter release is very quick after the camera has focused. Not quite as fast as a D-SLR, but not a noticeable lag. The problem is that the focus lock can take some time (a sec or 2), especially for moving objects. There may be a technique to improve the time like pre-focusing, but for fast moving subjects, I just use a D-SLR.

It is only a few seconds, maybe two or three. I used this camera for the first time this weekend on a getaway & had no issue with the slight delay. Still got great pictures.

I have a Nikon D7100 and I have been using this from time to time [unless my other external flash runs out of battery]. But there is a fraction of a second delay when you press the shutter button. I noticed this when I took photos of few things. I think it's just my observation for few things that is unusual. Don't take my word for it. If you buy this to save some money, go for it. But if you are willing to spend a little more expensive, go for the external flash that is built for Nikon. I only bought this item for emergencies because the flash can reach about 30-40 ft indirectly onto the subject without any issues. I hope this answers your query.

Are you talking about how short an exposure you can get or how quick between pictures. I haven't been limited by shutter speed in high or low light situations, but if you are trying to take actions pictures the time between frames probably isn't what you are looking for.
