How is the speed from shot-to-shot on this camera?

Better than most (as far as an average photographer is concerned) in terms of taking one photo at a time by clicking. . By mistake on recent trip the camera began taking fairly rapid shots of the same scenes (I'd pushed the wrong buttons), so it is now obvious to me -- though I will not use the feature -- that it can take mutiple shots fairly quickly.

Fair to good, this is definitely not one of the strong points of this camera. The other features make the speed between shots less important to me.

Hello, i bought it for somebody else but he says that is very fast.He likes it.

I'd say excellent. I often shoot pictures one after another, and have never noticed any lag. For example, I was photographing an eagle in a tree a distance away with the zoom. It is very difficult to hold still with full zoom on a small moving target so I take multiple pictures successively in the hope of getting an excellent shot...and by taking many pictures I get some keepers. If I am travelling I charge the camera overnight and always take half a dozen shots of something to assure I have the best picture.

Has not been a problem at all. I have not missed any shots due to camera lag. Still more than pleased with everything about this camera.

It shoots about 3 fps... I was looking at this camera, a Rebel XS, and the Pentax K-x....I went with the K-x....and LOVE it. Takes amazing photos. Tons of adjustable settings. Internal IS. Plus shoots about 4.3 fps. The only negative (to others not me) is no AF points in viewfinder. All in all a great camera. Plus you can be different instead of humping around a Canon/Nikon like everybody else.

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.

I have not used the other cameras, so I cannot compare. I will say that I am very happy with what I have shot so far. I have no regrets buying this camera.

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.

It's not to bad, but I do wish it was faster. My Nikon 35mm has a faster shutter speed but, I have to wait for the film to develope for that.

I've rarely used the camera for video but, according to the owner's manual, you can shoot in 30 or 60p frames per second, with various picture size (bit rate) choices. There is a "high speed video" choice which fixes the scene mode to QVGA (640x480 pixels/approx. 4 Mbps) in the Motion JPEG format. There is also a "variable bit rate" which is changed automatically depending on the subject to record (the recording time is shortened when a subject with fast movement is recorded). I could send you snapshots of sections of the manual if I had your email address.

It is pretty slow between shots. More than three seconds. It seems that it takes a long time to autofocus between shots. I put an 8gb sd card in and now most of the time I shoot in continuous shooting mode, which takes as many shots as you'd like rapidly, as long as you hold down the shutter button. Remember this is not an expensive camera. I have a Lumix DMC-ZS10 (about 2 years old), which was almost $300 at the time, which takes only a second or less between pics.

Not sure if the exact lag time but it's very low. Takes pics really quick. Also has sport mode on it so it keeps up with movement

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.

Seems a bit slow compared to what I experience. I've found that using an SD card with a fast write speed (45mbps or higher) and turning off auto-image-review in the settings really helps to significantly speed up shot-to-shot time. I'd also recommend checking Sony's website for the latest firmware updates (can be found here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=NEX6&template;_id=1&region;_id=1&tab;=download#/downloadTab). Hope this helps!

There is a slight delay - but honestly it's not bad. This is by far the best point and shoot that I've ever owned, and I've owned 8.

I have no complaints. There is a mode setting for fast action which sets a relatively higher ISO speed and opens up the F stop to maximize the shutter speed. And of course, if you halfway depress the shutter, it virtually eliminates shutter lag.

I gave that camera to my God daughter a year or two ago. I guess the shutter speed is okay. Check the specs on Olympus' web site for the shutter speed and other details.

I have a similar question, I'll just add it here. Is it fast enough, for example, take pictures jumping in the air (without being blurry)? Just so I can have a perspective.

Alice, I won't defend some of the SX40's faults - like taking shots in low light - but in over 20,000 photos with this camera, I've had no problem with it being slow EXCEPT in "Auto." Canon changed the processor from the 20 and 30 and came down from 14 to 12.1 MP to speed up the Powershot, and they succeeded. I would suggest you give the camera a workout in Av, Tv, P, or manual modes.Otherwise, I've used a Sony and an Olympus and have see the "Busy" signal more often than an old telephone.

It's pretty good, as a beginner I picked it up pretty fast. All in all I love my new camera :)
