How well does it take motion pictures (moving pictures)?

Not something I specifically tried so I wouldn't want to give you a misleading response. Hope you understand.

Video is good, feels more like an action-cam with an optical zoom. IS works very well.

not a common problem, the camera shoots higher than 30 FPS which would be standard to capture motion in video. Camera is great with a great price.

Personally, I haven't had a problem with minor movement or taking a picture on the move, briefly stopping for the pic, and moving again. We just completed a trip to Europe, and the photos were fantastic. Sharp and clear. But I think it's up to you and how steady you think your hands are. Most new cameras today, like Sony, have image stabilization. But there is a point where stabilization and shaky become two different things.

Yes, but you need to set it up in the software. I think the picture is pretty clear. Sends 4 to 6 pictures based on motion.

With the high film speed you can take good pictures. You will love the camera.

Yes it is very fast, and the pictures come out very sharp and clear I have taken some outstanding pictures with my camera. The other thing is you can play them back in slow motion and that just is sharp.

I like this camera, but I haven't been able to get a great motion shot yet. I may be doing something wrong. I am not an expert. The zoom is fantastic.

The camera does well for both because there are specific camera settings (night/low light and sports/action). I took great shots at our bonfire the other night and the sports/action setting takes multiple shots per second. I have never been disappointed with this camera.

Even if your baby moves, you're sure to get a good picture in just a few shots. Will depend on if you want the baby looking at you when you take the picture or if an action shot is find. I don't know the exact speed of the capture, but I haven't been disappointed with the camer so far.

On the average, no. The advantage of this is ease of use and low profile. Also consider what you're trying to do, you can get motion 'video' from this but it's not super - good enough for the security camera I built - delay is too great to be applicable to most motion needs. It's mainly useful for taking stills whether you make your own handheld camera or put it on a robot. If I were buying again and needed something for motion I'd use a $30 webcam instead but if I just needed stills I'd stick with this.

Yes, it has the posibility of capture high frame rate, from 120fps to 1000fps, the resolution with this is little, but enough to make great shots.

Yes, it takes great video. Very user friendly. Just be aware that it automatically turns off every 30 minutes. Not knowing that screwed me up big time the first time I used it for video.

The shutter lag on this video camera in photo mode is not something you would like. I tried taking action shots of my son playing indoor soccer and the time between pressing the button and it taking a picture was long enough to miss the shot I wanted. This was indoors, but the lighting was decent. Perhaps outdoors it would be different, but I'm not counting on it. It takes decent pictures - not great though. Don't throw away your digital camera if you're getting this. I will do in a pinch for non-action photos if you have nothing else with you. The specs say it's 10 Mp - but that is 5Mp scaled up to 10Mp. Again, the pictures (even with flash) aren't too bad. But regular digital cameras have a lot of optional settings (for still photography) that are easily accessed - this does not. Good luck. Tony PS...I haven't tried getting stills from movies - but might give it a try using my Pinnacle movie editing software. The video sure looks stunning and the pictures from it..well....won't know unless I try.

It can shoot plain digital images as well as normal HD movies. You just need to select the Photo mode on the screen menu and you are ready to go! The single images are as superb as the movie images! Good luck. Rick B.

No. It's response time is fast enough for action photos but not for high speed motion capture.

As far as taking a picture, it's slower than an old fashioned 35mm slr, and that can be a problem if you want to take candid and motion shots. Of course that's not a problem if you use the video option on this camera. Once the shot is taken, however, it is ready pretty fast for the next one. "Saving" is automatic on this camera.

at a normal setting, taking a picture viewing it and snapping another is quick. there is also another setting on the camera for continuous picture taking. it is very good. i use it for birthdays and lots of movement pictures
