In burst mode, full resolution, is there any slower speed besides 10fps? With a 6-shot limit, this is only a little more than 1/2 second of action. A

Hello, yes, you can also select 2 or 5 fps. The owners manual states that the maximum number for either of those is 100 shots, with a disclaimer that the number is limited by the "picture-taking conditions and the type of card used" Thanks.

You can set it to burst mode 10 frames per second. Good to have a class 10 SDHC card to, will speed up time between shots (image capture to memory).

No, yes, and yes. The burst mode can take 30 shots in 1 second. The battery holds up well in my opinion. But ive never measured it. And the quality certainly degrades with increasing focal length. The picture quality will be disappointing compared to a DSLR.

I've chronographed BB's at 740fps. Haven't measured pellets. If you're using pellets, this will be just as slow to load as your breakneck; loading 1 at a time. BB's are much faster to load but not as accurate.

yes, you just go to menu and select burst on. You will then take 10 pics /sec as long as you keep the button down.

The delay is minimum between single shot in auto mode, not more than the time needed for it to refocus, definitely less than 1 second. I don't know if this has anything to do with the SD card. I am using a class 10 card. The camera also has a continuous shooting mode, in which it can take about 7 frames all within 2 seconds.

Subjectively not as fast as a Nikon D4, but what is. Just shot a forth of july parade. I see no discernible lag in my so far limited use. There is a small lag before your next shot. Not suitable I think for wildlife in motion.Bill Byrd

There is a significant wait between standard shots, but I don't find it a problem considering there are 3 burst modes from which to choose in order to get ultra fast continuous shots.

The Continuous Shooting Speed of the SX210 is spec'd at 0.7 frames per second .. And the video is only 720p 30fps .. There's going to be no functional difference in a class 4 card (15MB/sec) versus a class 10 card. This is not an SLR that's shooting 8fps.

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!

A Sandisk Ultra (15MB/s) writes at about 9-10 so anything faster would be wasted, generally. I tested shooting RAW+JPEG continuous (11-13MB per shot, max 0.9 fps) and got a small delay of 21 instead of 28 shots in 30 sec. Perhaps an Extreme III 20MB/s card would help, if the camera can in fact write any faster. The manual says class 4 for video but my 1st gen EyeFi (2.3MB/s write) keeps up fine. This is just not a camera that needs a fast card. FWIW, for burst shooting, try "low light" mode. min iso 320 and 1/4 res, but does 3 fps jpeg

Lag time when you take each shot so the image you get is a split second after you push the button, not so good with sports action shots. Also lag time between shots.

The video latency is not particularly noticeable. I was able to play an online FPS competitively with no noticeable lag. Quicktime X player provides a full screen solution. Invariably, after some random amount of time, it'll crash and require a reboot. Quicktime 7 Pro hasn't yet crashed, but it doesn't allow full screen mode during video capture/playback.

Hi Richard, waiting time between two shots is relatively long, but there is an function called "continuous shooting" which I like. Battery life time is really great. Zoom does not diminish final picture. In regards high speed video, there is a bug in the software. After lets say 1 minute of the high speed video, buffer gets full and final video is than affected :( Other than that I am very happy with this camera! Cheers, Milan

That is the problem...you can't do rapid frames. The camera looks great, feels great to hold, but if you need something to capture a fast paced activity, this isn't the one for you. I like it and recommend it for a very casual user, however will be upgrading to a more advanced piece of equipment as soon as my budget allows.

Yes there is a lag time. Don't know if there's a way to shorten it. Don't know about the "Burst" - sorry, wish I could be more help.

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.
