How's the shutter lag? (Does it take a while to snap the picture after you press the button?)

no, as long as it is charged it is quick. When the battery is starting to get low it clicks a little slow.

It doesn't specifically do that; once you press the button, the camera (if you have it on Automatic) will adjust focus and then take the photo immediately after!

I'm not sure of the exact time of the shutter lag, but I'd guess it's around a 1/4 second, maybe a tad longer. I've only had a couple situations where I wished it had no lag at all, but it does have a little lag. Much shorter than the other point-and-shot digital cameras I've had. I think about the only way to eliminate ANY lag is to go with a digital SLR, but their bulk/weight doesn't work for me for vacation snapshots.

I've never had that problem although I do know that you really need to hold the button down until you hear the shutter click almost an old-fashioned film camera or the picture won't take. Hope you find a solution to your problem!

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

Shutter lag seems minimal. But no Digital camera made so far can be as fast as my old Nikon F film camera simply because it takes a finite time to write the image to the SDHC card. With film recording the image on the film was instantaneous.

I have a Nikon D7100 and I have been using this from time to time [unless my other external flash runs out of battery]. But there is a fraction of a second delay when you press the shutter button. I noticed this when I took photos of few things. I think it's just my observation for few things that is unusual. Don't take my word for it. If you buy this to save some money, go for it. But if you are willing to spend a little more expensive, go for the external flash that is built for Nikon. I only bought this item for emergencies because the flash can reach about 30-40 ft indirectly onto the subject without any issues. I hope this answers your query.

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

Camera has auto focus. Push shutter button down a little way which lets camera focus on principle object. Then push all the way. Lag should markedly decrease. When you push the shutter all the way initially, the camera goes nuts trying to focus and take photo. Hope this helps

Lag time when you take each shot so the image you get is a split second after you push the button, not so good with sports action shots. Also lag time between shots.

In my opinion, when using the video function there is a delay. there may be a slight delay in picture mode but not more than any other camera I have used. hope this helps!

there is about a 1 second delay with taking pictures; at least, it is when i'm trying to take a picture of my dog. there is a mode to place the camera in for pets; i tried it once. i do believe there was still a delay but the picture wasn't blurry. hope this helps.

There is not much of a delay between pressing the button & taking a picture, however there is a noticeable delay between taking a picture & the camera being ready to take another picture. I find this annoying at times.

It's a point and shoot, BUT I can't recomend it. Toomuch plastic AND it take too long time from you press the button - until it takes the photo.Sorry look for another cameraJE

No, it's quite slow. I recommend you spend a little more $ and get a Canon DSLR that can take at least 10 frames within a second.

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.

Actually to be honest with, it seems to be pretty fast to me at least. It´s pretty impressive how the shutter reacts, as soon as I press the button to take the picture. This is why I bought in the first place; Id say in circumstances where there a lot of movemente its probably less than a second for the camera to record the picture taken I´ve taken so many at a time, its awesome.
