Once the cap is off and the camera is on does it take pictures quickly? If my kids are smiling will it take the pic before they blink/look away?

I love this camera. It is quick! I've taken animal pictures and photos of moving vehicles. It captures the color spot on.The best purchase I ever made. I do animal portraits and have to photograph my art and the color and image is perfect, unlike my last camera.

We feel it has a quick response from off to on after which you can immediately shoot.

Yes, it is quick and has smile and blink detection. Also has multiple burst modes for quick action shots.

The pictures always are taken, sometimes it takes a few seconds to focus it. I have not used the timer function yet but the flash always works when its needed, and if it doesnt go off when you want it to you can force it on by changing the mode to backlighting and it will always go off.

The camera is really good for snapshots. It takes the camera only a second to be ready for a quick picture. Depending on the mode it can take the camera a few seconds to process the picture after taken, but that is only the case when you set the camera on a mode where extra processing is needed. The usual automatic snapshot mode is really fast in both, taking the picture and processing it.

Yeah - it's slow when it takes pictures. I bought it for my 6 year old nephew so he's thrilled with it.

Sandra, the listed shutter speeds go from 2 seconds to 1/1600 of a second. It was a gift for my daughter, and I asked her if it takes pictures quickly. She informed me it does, but the burst mode is a little slow, again listed as 1 frame per second, which is on paper a little slow for certain sports photos, butr she has not noticed any practical problem. She loves the sweep panorama function.

Very little, if you press the shutter half way to set focus, then the picture is taken very quickly after the shutter is fully pressed. I know that is not as fast as a dslr, but it is much faster than other point and shoot that I have ever used.

I have a daughter who doesn't like when I take pictures of her and a smile is hard to catch. I have had no issues "catching" her with a smile and without a blur. The zoom is outstanding.

No delay on snapping pics if you turn off the review. Some settings may have a little. I am happy with the battery life. I snapped about 200 pics with flash at a 3 hour reception and still had battery life left to take plenty of nature pics on a hike the next day.

No, only when you want to focus, then that is normal. The there is a delay before the next shot but one can skip that if you want. Best camera we've had, great close-up shots.

Yes, ere is a split second before it snaps but no where near the way other camera do. I think it's a great camera. But I'm no photogrher.

If you don't feel comfortable eyeballing it, the camera has a setting you can use for set-up that will blink a light when it detects you walking in front of it. When you get to its left or right detection limit it stops blinking.

This camera will take a burst of pictures if desired. However in just taking single pictures there is hardly any delay. Having a quality SD card helps as the pictures are saved to the card more quickly allowing the camera to be ready again.

There is a button on the left side on the camera when you are looking at the back of it. That turns on the feature. You line up the faces with the person you are photographing and it's that simple. It's a little tricky for kids to get it lined up properly but it's pretty easy overall.

No, the camera lets you know if flash is needed, but you have to pop up the flash manually. It's a great camera.

I'll admit that I've never try to capture a fast moving toddler, but I've found the camera to be very responsive. I've done many candid photographs of adults with good success. Hope this helps.

A second or so... but it will take a 6 pic burst in like 2 seconds if you set it that way.... I use video mode most of time.

Yes. It's similar to the average digital camera with several options, including Flash, Auto-flash and a Slow-Synchro, which 'slows shutter speed to brighten background'. The flash is built in and doesn't protrude as some do. I hope that helps.
