Kodak z1015 slow processing speed I have had this camera for 8 months and I love everything about it but the slow processing speed after I take a picture. I have upgraded the firmware to version 1.03 and turned off the smart capture mode. Seems that fixed the problem for others, but it still takes 5-10 seconds to save the picture. Are there any other suggestions on this? I am missing pictures of my kids because of it and am getting very frustrated with the camera.

Also note that any camera will slow down the "time between shots" if you use flash and maximum resolution and HD. But 5-10 seconds is absurd. Let us know if the extra firmware update improves this.

There is a firmware update which totally eliminates this problem. Go to Kodak's website and download the firmware. Complete instructions are available for completing the update.

I've just been to the Kodak Z1015is website and the only firmware download I see is for version 1.03 released 10/08. Is there some other download I'm missing?

My wife and I bought this camera for a trip we took to Italy, I worked out great, we took several hunder pictures but I never noticed a delay. Make sure you use at least a class 10 SD card and i believe you will be satisfied.

Jeff I am also having issues with extremely short battery life. I only get about 15 to 20 pictures and then they are flat. How long does your camera take to run the batteries flat?

Hi Glenn,Wow, thanks for doing that research for me. You found out in minutes what has taken me weeks!!! Well I guess with what you found I will have to narrow it down to either the T90 or the ZS3. I was reading other blogs that said that Panasonic is going to introduce a ZS7 and that might result in a price decrease on the ZS3 which is always good. I've talk to some people who are big fans of Sony cameras but, when you look at the table for shutter lags, they really are not doing so well. I will take your advice and go give them a "test drive" at Best Buy before I finally buy one. Thanks again for your time, that was very nice of you ;)Isabel Hi Glenn,Wow, thanks for doing that research for me. You found out in minutes what has taken me weeks!!!

The Pic is clear. No idiosyncrasies. I don't remember how it records. BUT I would not buy this camera. It is too slow. Like REALLY slow to respond to a shot.

I also bought the zd710 for $149.00 at Wal-Mart, and I was very disappointed. I have always been pleased with Kodak cameras but this one failed to deliver. I plan on returning it and upgrading to another model. Perhaps the z712? Although, $149.00 is an excellent price for this camera and it's features, I would recommended to K. Schenewerk that she also return it. In my opinion, when large sums of money are being spent, I expect to be satisfied. (Definately if it is an investment that will be with you for a while). Search until you find what pleases you.

I have had my Sony Nex-6 for about 2 months. It does the samething. A white screen pop's up "processing" for about 1-2 secs. I have not tried shooting 5-10 shots per sec. shooting yet. Besides that, everything else appears OK. Oh by the way, Image quality at 100-200 ISO is awesome.

It depends on what you are used to. I primarily shoot with a DSLR, and thus I definitely notice a lag. It isn't terrible, but you can't do burst shooting, so this issue tends to be less in the delay to shoot, but the processing delay after you shoot. it also depends a lot on the mode. Modes such as HDR, museum, etc can take quite some time as the shot is processed. E.g., I just took 500 photos of hummingbirds with my DSLR -- i would never do that with the Nikon. But, I don't like taking my DSLR near the waves, and with the Nikon you can take it anywhere.

usually the first few shots are okay, but after that, the camera has a long processing time between shots. there's nothing that can be done about it. it's a memory issue.

I think you would be pleased with how you can control the shutter speed on this camera. Set it for fast or freeze frames. I can't say enough good things about this Olympus XZ-10. My niece is a camera buff and searched the internet for a good Olympus camera for me and found this one. I LOVE IT!

GET THE Z950 NOW! The price listed today (6/15) is crazy! Sorry I'm excited lol, 139.99 is awesome. I've been eyeing this camera for a while. I'm all in for this price and free two day shipping for non prime members is bacon on the burger....... Back on topic! The z915 uses AA batteries so the more you spend for batteries the longer they will last and there's some decent rechargeables out there. The z950 uses this Kodak KLIC-7003 Li-lon Rechargeable Battery and I think it last for about 250 shots. I like the z950 battery option more but I'm no camera pro so hopefully someone has better advice for ya.

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!

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.

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.

it is pretty fast in Program mode, but incredibly slow in the mode that takes a 4 second video before taking the still picture. Avoid that mode like the plague.

Mine is a little slow on the internet. One site lowered the image quality it sent to me because it detected that I have a slower speed. I have roadrunner turbo! I am going to research more to figure it out. Also considering upgrading to Vista and using a SD card to improve my processing speed. Has anyone tried that? I love this computer!

I bought the same Kodak ZD710 at Walmart for $149.99 about a year ago. I've been very pleased with it. I love the optical zoom and high resolution of the photos. I haven't had any issue with noise in the photos at all. I work in the graphics industry and use this on a professional level. Being a designer though it also means I inevitable photoshop nearly all the pictures I take. But am happy with my ZD710
