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.

Yes it does which is exactly why I bought it. The viewfinder also zooms in and out; an unexpected bonus. We have used it for months now and like it. There is a delay if you want rapid repeat picture taking, but we do not. Also indoor pictures can be a little grainy. Overall, it is a good camera.

in bright light-the camera is fast with the shutter, but in low light it is definitely slow and you would need a tripod

Seems pretty fast to me, maybe a little slower as the scene gets darker, but it takes great pictures in very low light with autofocus.Has infrared light to focus with. Hardly ever use flash in a room with ordinary lighting.

If you are OK with the weight of such cameras then yes it has good control over shutter speed and it captures moments fast. I would suggest for small cameras if you want it for adventures.. These size cameras are useful for nature photography

Hi Mark, no, the camera does not have the High Speed Shutter Sync. It has both the Slow sync and Rear sync flash modes. Thanks_Mitch

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!

Yes. It's relative, though. For instance, not as fast as my Canon 5D MkII, but much faster than my Olympus Pen EP2. Wish I could give you stats, but I don't know them. The Sony is my go to camera for times when I need smaller size. I'm very happy with it and have had no issues with shutter lag, slow focus or any of the other problems with some small cameras. To say it's my backup for my 5D MkII is an indication of how it compares to the larger, far more expensive machine.

Quite unscientific, but an educated guess is about two seconds from press button, take pic, process/view, manually take next picture. Fastest camera I have ever used. Of course you can also use it in the "burst or continuous" mode and take multiple pics in one press. In that mode, it is of course, much faster as you are not displaying each pic until you stop and choose to view. Hope it helps.

I just tried it out. The camera will take rapid photos of a moving object by just the touch of a button or two.

Yes. Camera takes great pictures, just know that if you have to use the flash, that takes FOREVER !!!

Hi Theo - There is limited aperture/shutter control, so it is more difficult to take photos of fast moving objects. I would say this camera is best for still images! However, I have taken great photos even when the objects are moving. Hope this helps.

I would say it takes the picture immediately. Much quicker than my old Nikon Coolpix did, where there was a definite lag. If you are taking a photo which uses flash, then it takes more time, but not for daylight photos.

Yes, it does but I don't use that feature very often, it takes a few seconds, at least 5 to write the burst and that can be too slow for quick action, but if you are wanting a single burst set, it is reasonable. I have not had too much success with fast action capture with this camera. I use it for scenery and video, the sound capture is outstanding, see what it can do at youtube, look up ddupont, these were all from this camera.

You can shoot shots pretty quick, but then the camera takes a few seconds to catch up. I usually use a burst of several and it recovers by the time I am ready to shoot again.

Not at all. Like most digital cameras, it is a great camera and it takes great pictures when there is adequate lighting.

Not bad at all! We actually bought it for that very reason because we have a toddler and we wanted a faster photo. This camera is quick and takes very crisp pictures. We love it.
