Does it have fast shutter speed when taking pictures?

Great picture! for inexpensive camera, shutter speed does not apply with digital cameras

The shutter speed is chosen automatically by the camera. It works well in very bright light, and also does fine at taking pictures of things in motion.

I'm sorry, I cannot answer your question, as this was a gift for my son. PJS

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

I haven't owned many other cameras besides this one, the other ones i've used are at least 5 years older so this feels lighting quick, but what I have read is this camera is slightly slower than others on the market in terms of insta-shots (pressing the button right away without half-pressing it to focus), but it is one of the quickest out there after you have already half-pressed it. I always half-press my shots anyways because I find it essential to get consistent, decent photo quality, but that's just me. What I have read is after half-pressing, the shutter speed is ~450ms, and when pressing it right away, it takes ~950ms to take a picture. Those numbers seem consistent with results I have gotten. Like the other review I read, the reasoning behind this could easily be because this camera's auto settings are much more advanced than in the past that the focus processing algorithms take longer to go through, but once it is focused, its actual shutter speed delay is very short. Do keep in mind that this camera has a continuous shoot mode (~3.4 shots/sec) as well as a high-speed burst mode (~9 shots/sec), but the high-speed bursts are only 3 megapixels (lower quality). To people saying the camera does not come anywhere close to these results, my guess is it is because they have a slower (class 4 or 6) SD card inside. I have a Sandisk extreme class 10 in mine (up to 30 mb/s, class 10 means the disk is rated at a minimum 10mb/s), and the results i got seem much closer to the 3.4 and 9 shots/sec factory results. This camera is about as quick as it gets when it comes to point-and-shoot shutter lag speeds. Put a fast memory card in there and the delay you are used to seeing in other (esp older) cameras is virtually gone. Turn off picture review (where it shows the picture right after taking it) and you'll get even faster results.

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.

The S2 has a shutter speed priority mode where you manually set the shutter, and it selects the best aperture. Shutter speeds go up to 1/3200, so it's plenty fast enough.

Hi Janiethe Canon SX50 is one of the fastest in its class. Just compare the data of the cameras that you have in your focus. It is also very remarkable that you may take 13 frames per second. That feature is fantastic when you take pictures from people, portraits or animals. It is very key that you invest in a high speed memory card (just search for the comparison charts in the web). The faster the card the faster your camera will be ready for the next shot or even the next series of chosts.have funJoerg

No it does not., however this camera is not recommended, it does not focus properly and after sending back to Nikon, they stated it is within spec....still photography ok. Photographs of anything faster than a snail, useless

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

It has a High speed burst mode setting [10.5 shots per second] (within manual setting) however the quality is compromised and locked at 2304x1728 and cannot be changed. As you take more pictures the shooting may slow down.There also is the standard continuous shooting mode [3.9 shots per second] (within auto). Essentially the same as above goes for this mode even though it is slower, you will be able to take pictures at a better resolution.

With good light it takes about 5 pictures per second, autofocus is not very fast but very good for such a low price camera. The iso is high enough for taking pictures at low light without using flash.

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.

Not sure time-wise what delay is for start-up and in between shots but I know it is super fast. I couldn't believe how fast the camera comes on. Time between shots, even with flash, is fastest I've seen in all the cameras I've bought.

The shutter is fast so yes, but the image quality is really grainy and not that great.

Yes. This camera is great for action shots. Like any SLR camera, you will need to be sure to have it on the right settings when taking action shots. It will also take three pictures back to back with one click. The shutter speed is fast. It only takes three pictures with one click if you set it to do so. Great for action shots. I am a new learner to SLR CAMERAS.

No, no delay when snapping pics. That was one of my biggest must haves as I have a young child that is always on the move. I've been very happy with this camera. No problems with the battery life. I did buy extra batteries though so I always have an extra one ready to go.

This camera is actually quite slow to take a picture and from shot to shot. My old Canon S2IS is much faster.

It is very fast depending on the settings you use. One setting takes a little longer, but it's understandable because that setting is for really "high quality" pictures that you would "set up" for. The other settings are very quick. Overall, the camera is phenomenal. The colors are great and it makes the necessary adjustment to focus well. I love it!!
