SHUTTER LEG OF 1030SW? What is the sutter lag time of the new Olympus 1030sw?

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?

This is a question that can't be answered. In perfect light I have not found any shutter lag, but in poor lighting conditions the lag is very noticeable.

I agree. Recently my hubby and I were shopping, and I wanted either the Olympus FE-370, or the CAnnon sx-110-Is.Low and behold when I opened the parcel yesterday, there was that fugifilm s1000. every shot was blurry and just crap!Im returning it today, and going to get one of my first choices.

I just assume a shutter synch speed between 1/125 and 1/250 and it works fine

I have found that there is a 2 - 5 second delay between shots, but I'm not sure how this compares with other cameras.

Shutter lag when prefocused = less than 1/10 of a second Shutter lag with autofocus = about 0.6 seconds Shot to shot delay without flash = 4.7 seconds between frames with minimum review time On, 4.2 seconds with review Off Shot to shot delay with flash = 7.8 seconds between frames with minimum review time On, 7.3 seconds with review Off

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.

There is a lag time. Not exactly sure how long... Maybe 1-2 seconds. When I first got the camera I hated the lag time, but I would say that I am used to it now. I wouldn't let the lag time deter you from purchasing this camera. It is a great product.

The shutter lag on this video camera in photo mode is not something you would like. I tried taking action shots of my son playing indoor soccer and the time between pressing the button and it taking a picture was long enough to miss the shot I wanted. This was indoors, but the lighting was decent. Perhaps outdoors it would be different, but I'm not counting on it. It takes decent pictures - not great though. Don't throw away your digital camera if you're getting this. I will do in a pinch for non-action photos if you have nothing else with you. The specs say it's 10 Mp - but that is 5Mp scaled up to 10Mp. Again, the pictures (even with flash) aren't too bad. But regular digital cameras have a lot of optional settings (for still photography) that are easily accessed - this does not. Good luck. Tony PS...I haven't tried getting stills from movies - but might give it a try using my Pinnacle movie editing software. The video sure looks stunning and the pictures from it..well....won't know unless I try.

Yes... I'm very happy with the sp570 that I'm using right now, which includes RAW and RAW+JPEG shooting, as well as a hot shoe. I was hoping Olympus would include a rotating LCD after Canon's new model. That would have been nice. I'm upgrading to an SLR shortly, but the specs on this are worth a second glance. 26x... wow. The Bird-Watching mode also appeals to me as a wildlife photographer, although I'm not sure how exactly it would work. I know the smile shot option on the 570 is utterly useless. But the predecessor, although much maligned, is a fantastic camera, so I guess we'll have to see.

Thanks for the opinion on the LX3, I think I'll wait for one of the these new Canons. Agree with your point on megapixels too, it's seems like 12mp is probably overkill for these small image sensors, so I expect I'll probably crank mine down to 10 or 8 to see if I get less noise. Digic 4 sounds pretty cool too, hopefully that will help.

If there is a "lag" time it is real short. This was a gift for someone, it did use it for a couple shots. I did not notice any lag time. I think this is a great little camera.

Sorry man I have not used it yet. On my others camera it is a setting I can change. I'll look at the camera when I get home and see if I can help out. I have been out of town. I'll get back this weekend

I am not an expert photographer but I think the shutter lag is too long. Just took my camera to Africa for three weeks. Overall, I was very pleased with it, good zoom, great pictures. My photos were almost as good as those with much bigger fancier lots-of lens type camera. but I did have to wait too long to snap a second shot and I know I missed some photos.

I purchased a D5000 in July and have been very satisfied with it. Great camera. I recently received an email from Nikon about this problem. My s# is 304**** and they say it has the problem. I haven't sent it in yet. I'm having a problem with fixing something that works fine.

As with any auto focusing camera, there can be shutter lag. However, you can set both the iSO and shutter speed in this camera. So far, I haven't had a shutter lag problem, but I also haven't shot something fast moving either. No the battery doesn't run down like the old fujis with cylinder batts. this one has a lithium rechargeable battery, and when camera is off, doesn't eat power. I use the camera constantly and only recharge the battery about once a month or so.
