Does this camera take rapid action shots (e.g. for sports/movement shots)?

I have used this camera while being driven at a pretty high speed and taken shots of the passing scenery which comes out perfectly. The only other moving pictures I have taken are of people on stage dancing and they have also come out successfully even though they are moving.

The camera has a Sports setting "for when you want to take pictures of sports scenes or other fast-moving events." The owner's manual adds two notes: "Shutter speed may slow down for up to one second." and "This mode is suitable for taking pictures at distances of 5 m (15 feet) or more." The camera also takes movies, but, since I haven't tried either function, I can't tell you how well either of these features will meet your needs.

Yeah, it does. One of the functions helps action photos look clearer. I have also used another function that allows to take sequential photos. I am sure I have to learn more about this camera but It has been a good buy. I still think the camera doesn't take good pictures in dark places, but as I told you, I have to play a little bit more with it.

Sorry, I don't know. I have great results on auto focus, Closeup indoor with flash and action soccer shots, zoomed in outdoors.Tip: On the out door action shots, regardless of natural lighting, I ALWAYS use flash--I believe it shoots faster with flash onand stops the action better.

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.

Yes it can. It has a fast shutter response with multi shutter taking option too.

Many cameras have a Sports setting which uses a higher shutter speed. Or is there shutter priority? I have several Lumix cams, but not this one.

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.

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!

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.

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.

It's great. I actually use the camera to take pictures of martial arts. The speed is fast, I can always capture the moment that I want. The only problem is that the flash always goes off in this mode. I am not sure if I can add flash in the action mode -- I have not figured out yet.

YesJust like any samsung camera, you could set this to take BURST shots, but to answer your questions, depending on your settings ( for instance the apperature or shutter priority) then the speed at which it takes pictures would change. But for the price, this is an awesome camera.

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.

Yes, the Canon EOS Rebel T4i is great for sports action shots. It has a good burst rate, a great fast shutter speed, and a good autofocus system when using the STM lenses.

Yes it does. It has a large number of modes actually. I don't know what they all do but here is a list: sport, portrait, e-protrait, night scene, night portrait, indoor, self portrait, sunset, fireworks, cuisine, documents, beach and snow, underwater snapshot, two wide modes, macro, snow, panorama, and HDR modes. I've shot some photos at an indoor pool in sport mode and they were fairly decent. The lens starts at f2 but if you're shooting sports you may be zoomed all of the way out at which point it is f4.9 so you will want pretty good light to get the best shots.

No, it's reaction speed is not very good for pictures of moving objects. It will give you good HD videos though, although the zoom control is not available in video.

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.

I have not tried it on a sports event yet but it will probably struggle in keeping with the fast action. Auto focus is 'adequate' and not pro-level. I will update this answer when i have the chance to use/test it for that. I can tell you in a moving (freeway speeds)car, shooting at mountains, trees or landscapes, it is fast and accurate.
