How good are action shots with this camera. My old camera is blurry when my son is dribbling. Does it take action shots with clarity?

This camera will take any picture you want it too!! I got a picture of my dog shaking his head and it's clear as a bell, with his jowls flying and ears flapping!! I still have a lot to learn but I LOVE THIS CAMERA!!!

This camera should do a good job for you. It has a sports setting for capturing very fast action. The camera does an amazing job with focus. While at Disney this summer, I took a photo of a still object that was about 1/4 mile away using the zom feature. The framing and focus were perfect. I mention this because I was moving at aprox 10 mph on a train when I snapped the photo. The only thing you have to keep in mind when using this camera is the location of your fingers on the left. It is easy cover up the pop up flash. You should also have a spare battery.

You can set the ISO to a high setting and get fast shutter speeds. That will make the pictures sharp.The action setting should do this automatically.

It is awesome! I have become the official photographer for my son's baseball team. I have great action shots of the pitchers in motion as well as the players up to bat. The rapid shot feature insures that I don't miss something. I have been very happy with this camera.

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.

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

As long as you read the manual on how to capture these motion pictures, you will be able to get great shots. I just took a picture of my daughter running with her hair flying behind her! Love it!

I shoot substantial hi-speed stop-action in/out doors as well as with the flash. Once I knew which setting to use, it's been flawless. Experiment with the settings and you'll see for yourself there are NO shortcomings with what this camera can do. It's best if you use a tripod with the 40x optical zoom if you do stop-action shooting.

Okay M.I got my camera last night. I took a couple of pictures on my in to work this morning. I am going to post them after I make this post. I don't know what people are complaining about when they complain that the pictures are blurry. The pictures I took were extremely sharp. For the sample picture go the listed item. I will post more pictures by Sunday. Feel free to email me if you have any questions (superat06@gmail.com)Sean

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.

I have two children under five-years-old and they do not sit still. I can get great shots of them running and moving with both the Full Auto mode and the Action mode.

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'd be curious to know as well. The 720SW had a fairly slow shutter, and one had to really concentrate to get a non-blurry photo. Unless, you enabled the stabilization, and then the photo got a little grainy... Anybody have feedback on that?

It has the capacity to take action shots depending on the shutter speed you need. Just be aware the quality of pictures won't be that great. It's nothing more than a glorified point and shoot and my experience with it wasn't that great at all. I was glad when it got stolen, but felt a little sorry for the thief!

I purchased my camera for this reason. I love it!!! My son plays baseball and I can focus on him and the fence isn't the focus. This is different than the cannon rebel. Also it has the multiple shot mode so I catch everything. I LOVE this camera!

Hands down, indoor low light is the most difficult for this camera. I find that using the 'action' scene mode helps alot. The picture comes out better and the flash seems to go quicker after you press the button. Since you posted your comment last October, hopefully you've found some ways to improve the pictures that you can share with us.

Even if your baby moves, you're sure to get a good picture in just a few shots. Will depend on if you want the baby looking at you when you take the picture or if an action shot is find. I don't know the exact speed of the capture, but I haven't been disappointed with the camer so far.
