i think it takes pics pretty quickly. I rec'd the A540 for xmas & exhanged it the next day for the SD700. The A540 took about 4-5 secs btwn each shot, which is a LONG time....the SD700 is ready to shoot another pic in less then a second (and that is with using the flash). Highly recomend!

Did anybody ever let you know (or did you get the Fuji to find out) how quickly it will take a photo? I have a Canon and want to go with a smaller, less expensive, more durable model/make - but I need instant images.

My suggestion as a photographer is to skip out on the cheaper camera and spending more on a intuitive camera if you can. I use this camera for snap shots. I cannot really depend on it for quickness.

There isn't a lot of lag time, but I was constantly changing settings to get the best pictures. I have hardly used it because it took too much time and found that my iphone took better pictures.

HiThere does not appear to be any lag. Hit the shutter button and you have it. By the way, I am a professional photographer and I owned the original RX100. Did not like it as I felt the lens and/or sensor was simply not sharp enough for my needs. I sold it after 3 months. The Mark 3 is fabulous and Sony has fixed the problems PLUS added an EVF. This camera lens/sensor combo is really sharp and I am delighted with it. It is my "carry around" always camera.Good luck and well wishes!- Phil Johannes

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.

No the shutter speed is not fast... I've operated cameras with faster shutter speed. the main beauty of this camera is the quality of the distant shots. Ive not located the feature for sports (active shots) but i am yet to read the manual... so i am still learning the features

To me, the lag time is virtually none. Very fast, in my layman's opinion. It also has a burst mode.

Haven't found any "lag" between shots at 2-3 seconds each. Most of my photos are portraits and landscapes.

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.

I used this camera for hundreds of pictures on an European trip in October. Lag was never an issue, like some of the other camera I have owned. So, I would have to say if there is a lag, it is certainly not noticeable.

Like most point and click digital cameras, this has an auto-focus. When you depress the button part way, it will focus. Then a complete press will take that picture. If you do not pause to focus and just push the button hard, it will have a very slight pause as it does have to take the time to focus. If it didn't you pictures would be blurry.I used this on a trip where I needed a bunch of spontaneous pictures and the lag was not annoying. Quickly taken shots came out great.

All digital cameras that I have used do have that "lag". It is focusing and that takes a bit of time. You can help by pressing slightly on the button until it is focused and then it will have very little lag. Try that, do not push it all the way down, just half way and watch the picture. when the square changes to green press the button the rest of the way down and it should have eliminated the lag. Good luck with it, I sure like mine.

I've used Picasa with this machine and it works very fast. It easily applies the included fixes (contrast, hue/color saturation, etc. ) with no lag. Picasa is a lot less resource intensive then photoshop though. I take pictures with a 7.1 megapixel camera - the average photo is about 3.5megs. The mousepad takes getting used to when you want drag and drop things but you get used to it.

I have not found any delay. However, I'm just an amateur when it comes to taking pics, so I'm not sure how important it is for you to know the length of the shutter lag.

there is a lag time of about three seconds, great camera though.My favorite feature is that you can turn the flash ON, even on bright sunny days.

Its pretty fast, not in burst setting its about a sec. I never use auto though because ever since watching the videos online its pretty easy making better pictures using the other settings.
