Does this camera have continuous shooting, like for action photos?

It has continuous shooting if you hold down the shutter button. It's not too quick but it's effective. I like mine!

Yes, the P7100 has an Interval timer shooting feature that will take still photos to show how a scene changes over a period of time. See Marvin and Ron's comments. I hike a lot and this camera is perfect for me, and a lot less weight and bulk than my Nikon DSLR.

This camera does a great job with action shots. I can photograph my grandsons jumping into the swing pool and stop the action as they are entering the was the water including the splash. I have taken water fall pictures and you can stop the water drops in motion. As far a s low light I think the camera will work well with the flash attachment that goes on the hot shoe on top of the camera. I have done ok in low light setting without a flash, but I would need to know more about what you trying to do in low light. Here again you have to keep in mind that this is $300 camera and it will not preform like a $1,000 Cannon. But for $300 it does a great job. The stop action on this camera is incredible.

No, it does have a good selection of modes and if you need a "sports" for fast action you can go into the setup mode and manually change the shutter speed, The camera takes very good pictures. My only complaint is that the camera body is made out of plastic and feels cheap.

I wasn't positive as to the answer , so I called my Granddaughter ( sold the camera to her without really using it much)--She says "Continuous"--Hope this helps.

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.

Sorry, I'm not much of a camera buff. A friend of mine recommended it based on my guidelines of good for action shots and being simple to use.

It has a high speed burst mode for action videos. In still mode, it has a really fast lens (f2.0) which means the shutter can be cranked up high to capture faster motions.

It is great for action videos. If you also want stills, I agree a great digital camera with video might be a better option? Also give yourself time to play with it so you are ready and able to use it.

I have used it in some action shots, but mostly in weddings or school band concerts. You will need to set the camera in manual focus for some fast pace events. This model is a little old now, you may be able to find a newer model for less $$.

Yes. If the camera shutter speed is NOT set to "bulb" or similar and you lock the remote shutter in the on position, it will perform continuous shooting. However depending on the length of your exposure, a better option might be to use the timers built in delay timer, as longer exposures take more processing time.

Hey there, This camera is a great action shot camera, I used it for my little sister's gymnastic meets as well as soccer shoots and running shots, I just bumped up the shutter speed and the incredible focus motor did the rest!

It takes quality pictures in bright situations and if your hands are steady. It uses AA batteries which can come in rechargeable variety. It didnt come with an SD card.

Yes, but not in the same sense as a still camera does. It does bursts. Meaning that it'll take 10-30 frames per second for each shutter activation. You can't use it like a point and shoot, and take just ONE picture.

It does on certain settings. It has some intelligent lighting/focus settings and an anti motion setting that takes rapid fire frames without much distortion. It has produced some gorgeous photos. However, if you are wanting to shoot exclusively manual, you may not be thrilled with its recovery speed.

No. It does not fire off photos like a DSLR. Just that the pictures are sharp. There is a sports mode that rouses for action photos. But the time is not particularly quick between snapping a photo and being able to snap another in a second or two.

I have not used it for action shots - just for landscape shots, so I cannot answer your question.
