How is it with action shots?

I have gotten some great action shots by playing around with the shutter speed,including a very clear shot of a jet in flight.

Good if there is a lot of light. Not too bad indoors - the VR lens helps so it's better there than those without.

I haven't had as much luck getting it to take good close up pictures as I have with action, low-light and zoom shots. However, that could be user error. I'm not a seasoned photographer. My close ups are always blurry, though.

I would say no. I have tried to take action shots with it and they always come out blurred. Very frustrating.

It has great frame rates taking 4fps. The action setting makes shooting sporting events really easy I use it all the time for swim meets and my pictures turn out great. Make sure you look at the white balance for the indoor stadiums and other highly lit events so you don't use a flash and wash out your subjects.

the elph 110 hs is greate for action shots, depending on the ligthning conditions. if you are in bright light, you can take serveral good action shots per second, even in the "auto mode". not when the camera is challenged to use the flashlight. for obvious reasons. in this case it may be better to use the camera in "program mode". - karl -

It snaps them fast....but in between shots is extremely slow. It processes phots for awhile even in auto, If you have a filter setting or any other kind of setting it is even longer. This is not the camera for action stuff. It does not have burst option, it has action freeze which is just fast shutter.

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 no complaints. There is a mode setting for fast action which sets a relatively higher ISO speed and opens up the F stop to maximize the shutter speed. And of course, if you halfway depress the shutter, it virtually eliminates shutter lag.

This camera comes with decent 5X zoom. But a problem with this camera is that there is some time lag between you click shutter button and actual image is collected. Therefore, I don't recommend this camera for action pictures. This camera comes with good water proof and shock proof. If that's the main reason for buying a new camera, this camera is recommended. Your daughter needs some practice for action pictures before she goes Africa. If picture quality is priority, I would recommend Cannon EOS M for picture quality and relatively smaller size.

I'm sorry but I haven't tried that yet . I am kind of disappointed by the quality of the video myself . Not too enthused by it . It can't record high speed action like it's said to be able to do.

Unfortunately the action is pretty jerky. I try not to use the tripod for panning. I just use it for stable shots with my DSLR.

I usually use the 6 shot mode. I seem to be losing a little power after 20 (6 shot) sequences---- though I am not sure. More testing.

That feature is amazing. Place the camera setting on SCN and use "Action Sport Setting". Pics are unbelievable! This camera is a amazing. I strongly recommend it!

It has burst shot action. You might find some limitation if the camara is off and you want to capture a quick shot. I've kept the camara on and gone walking trying to capture "moments". Works pretty well. I understand there are other camaras that are good for that. Don't know brands or prices though. The Samsung has been a lot of fun for low cost.

There is a bit of a delay, so it's not great for taking action shots. It's a generally great camera, and I love it a lot, but you do have to anticipate a shot.
