Does it take good action pictures or do they come out blury?

Not sure about action shots. It was a gift for somebody else so I can't test it. However I can tell you that my father-in-law was impressed with the ease of use and we had a great time playing with all of the settings on a recent visit. The front camera also plays cartoons so a young child will stay still for pics!

Shutter a bit slow for action, not instantaneous. I purchased the DV300F for its dual view, wi-fi and quality video. Action sequences were not my priority. The dual view resulted in much better 'couple' photos with landmarks and sights in the background. Wi-Fi was terrrific for sending photos from Europe to the U.S. without any other devices. K Tyson

Not an 'action' camera. Needs more frames per burst. I purchased for Dual View, Wi-Fi and quality video. Dual View resulted in outstanding 'couple' photos with sights and landmarks in the background. Wi-Fi was outstanding for sending photos from Europe to the U.S.without any other devices. Quality video both night and, of course, day. Check out the many special effects. They make any photographer an artist. Lastly, ideal size for pocket or purse. I was tired of carrying an SLR. The DV300F filled all of my photo needs.

I love this camera. Take very good pictures. Great features like uploading to Facebook and email from the camera. The front facing view is small but does the job when you are trying to take self photos.

When on the SPORT setting, the camera takes good photos of any subject in motion. I have not used it for movies!

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!

I'd be curious to know as well. The 720SW had a fairly slow shutter, and one had to really concentrate to get a non-blurry photo. Unless, you enabled the stabilization, and then the photo got a little grainy... Anybody have feedback on that?

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.

No, this is a very cheap and worthless action camera. If you are looking for an action camera I suggest you spend the extra money and buy a GoPro.

Depends. It's a little slow if you want to use autofocus on action shots but amazing depth of field and sharp images. But if it's bright light and you have some experience tracking moving objects, I'd say it's a great choice.

I have a fast moving 5 year old and have NOT had success with catching him in motion. Usually blurs. When you use the action setting it is a little better but disables the flash so unless you are outside or in a highly lit room the picture won't be great!

Sorry , not sure about action... I use it for sitting birds and wildlife. Each time they fly away it blurs.

Not the flash per say, but pictures came out blurry when there was low light conditions.

You can get some nice crisp photos/text at close range using the "Macro" setting. Need to turn the flash off though...which of course slows the shutter speed. Takeing a picture of a page is very doable though and it looks fantastic. I was really suprised when I tried it.

It's got good performance in the auto modes. While I haven't used the sports setting, I can say it's got plenty of shutter speed to stop action and good reproduction at ISO settings so you'll get good shots even in low light. The burst rate is good and the auto focus tracks reasonably well. It'll get the job done and you won't need to read more than the manual to get started.

NOOOOO! You would be lucky to have it focus in time to capture the action. I originally bought this camera to take action photos of my sons's high school football games. I could not have been more disappointed. I returned this camera.

No, the camera is very grainy in low light. It looks okay at first, but it is more noticeable when you zoom in a bit.

Yes. This camera is great for action shots. Like any SLR camera, you will need to be sure to have it on the right settings when taking action shots. It will also take three pictures back to back with one click. The shutter speed is fast. It only takes three pictures with one click if you set it to do so. Great for action shots. I am a new learner to SLR CAMERAS.

It's not rapid fire. You press the button, it beeps, then there is a pause for about 2 seconds and then the flash and capture, then there is a 3 second pause while it shows you the picture on the display and then another 5 second delay before you can take another picture. I would not use this for action photography.

None. Lol. If you're looking for crisp pics, this isn't the camera for you. I bought this for a brilliant four year old boy and with natural light, his pics came out pretty good. With low light in the home, it's ok as well. Definitely not crisp, but clear enough to see what he took a pic of. For the record, he loves it and figured out how to work it in a few mins.
