Does it have a lag time between when you push the button and when it actually snaps the picture and how long do you think it is?

If there is a "lag" time it is real short. This was a gift for someone, it did use it for a couple shots. I did not notice any lag time. I think this is a great little camera.

I find that there is no lag time, or lag time of perhaps 1/10th of a second. Perhaps there is a lag time involving focus, but if you focus the camera and then press the button there is no lag time.

There is a lag time. Not exactly sure how long... Maybe 1-2 seconds. When I first got the camera I hated the lag time, but I would say that I am used to it now. I wouldn't let the lag time deter you from purchasing this camera. It is a great product.

Shutter lag is ok..it's just the time it takes for for the camera reset to take the next photo that I am not happy with...I guess I should not have such high expectations for a $149 camera..

Yes it does seem to have a delay. Maybe 15-30 seconds, if memory serves me correctly.

There is lag time..also after taking the picture you should not move the camera quickly..image will blur..

There is a lag between photos. Depends on how strong your batteries are at the time you are taking multiple pictures. Hope this helps.

I also wondered about a delay with this remote. I emailed Satechi and heard back from "Arthur". He said there is no ability for a 2-3 second delay. From what reviewers have said about this remote you may be able to hide the remote but take the pictures anyway because of the Radio Frequency.

I have one and I've recently reviewed the manual. I recall there being a 10 second delay (to get in the picture), and a 2 second delay (for stabilization). The manual is downloadable from Kodak's website.

I have never had more than a 2 second delay. There is an option to put the camera on action so the delay time is minimal

It does not take pictures immediately; it has some delay. It also has some delay after the picture was taken before you can take the next. This was the main reason I had to return it.

I have never timed how long it takes, but like any photo cell it's going to take up to a few minutes sometimes. This all depends on the location, etc. I love mine! It's been the best one I have ever bought.

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.

Like most point and click digital cameras, this has an auto-focus. When you depress the button part way, it will focus. Then a complete press will take that picture. If you do not pause to focus and just push the button hard, it will have a very slight pause as it does have to take the time to focus. If it didn't you pictures would be blurry.I used this on a trip where I needed a bunch of spontaneous pictures and the lag was not annoying. Quickly taken shots came out great.

I'm not an expert. That being said, I would say it does seem to pause when I'm ready to take a photo. Hope that helps.

Nope, it has a quick shutter lag speed, I believe it's called. This was the number one priority for me too when researching cameras. I'm happy with this one. It also takes good pics in low light on the right setting and good action shots. Very happy with the camera for the price and size.

Shutter lag isn't really a problem, but I would be concerned about the need for low ISO (200 max) unless you're shooting b&w;, in which case, it is simply a lovely camera.

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.

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.
