I mean, really really amazing.</p> <p>I was wrong before--I was totally unaware that you can change all kinds of settings to make the autofocus faster. It's an amazing camera. Did you ever make a decision? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-a-fast-point-amp-shoot#post-2397914 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 08:55:01 +0000 Anagram 2397914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Well, the continuous shutter can help with action shots, BUT there is definite lag when you stop shooting. So then you have to wait, say...5-6 seconds for those shots to load in the camera before you can continue shooting. It's almost best to keep your finger on the shutter button and take way more pictures than you need instead of stopping and then waiting to start again.</p> <p>I've so far only used it for my monthly pictures though, so I'm totally not an expert on it's features. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-a-fast-point-amp-shoot#post-2397706 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 23:32:29 +0000 sunny 2397706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: thanks but my Canon S95 is what I am annoyed with and am looking to replace!</p> <p>@Anagram: do you find that the auto focus is fast enough for getting pictures of your toddler? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-a-fast-point-amp-shoot#post-2397653 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 21:37:47 +0000 Anagram 2397653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the rx100 III, but we happened to get it right before I had LO2, and we really haven't had time to play around with it and learn to use it properly. It seems to have some cool features and I like the continuous shutter option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-a-fast-point-amp-shoot#post-2397560 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 19:43:57 +0000 youboots 2397560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: I only shoot with prime lenses. Use your legs to zoom :) if @littlejoy is selling her camera though that may be a good route/deal I know she treats her gear awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-a-fast-point-amp-shoot#post-2397546 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 19:30:08 +0000 littlejoy 2397546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm selling a Canon s100, if those specs interest you. I'm a professional photographer, and bought the s100 when I was pregnant to have an everyday point and shoot. I never use it (I usually just default to my DSLRs), so it's in great condition (still have original packaging). If you're interested, wall me. I can give more info. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-a-fast-point-amp-shoot#post-2397538 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 19:20:33 +0000 sunny 2397538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: I'll wall you!</p> <p>@youboots: do you typically shoot with prime lenses on your SLR? That's my only hesitation. I am not usually shooting with a prime lens and I don't know if I would miss having the ability to zoom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-a-fast-point-amp-shoot#post-2397474 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:54:13 +0000 youboots 2397474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the original x100 and am happy with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-a-fast-point-amp-shoot#post-2397460 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:34:03 +0000 erinpye 2397460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Fujifilm x100t and I LOVE it. I wrote a review on it-- if you want it, I'll text it to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-a-fast-point-amp-shoot#post-2397443 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:05:15 +0000 sunny 2397443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm finding myself increasingly frustrated with my Canon S95 which I've had for a few years. It takes great pictures when the subjects can stay still, but with a toddler, I feel like I miss a lot because the autofocus is slow and there's shutter lag. </p> <p>I'm looking for a new point &amp; shoot which can shoot RAW and can autofocus super fast and has minimal shutter lag. Basically I want my Canon 7D dSLR in a smaller package! </p> <p>Any recommendations?</p> <p>Here's my contenders, so if you have any experience, I'd love to hear the pros &amp; cons!</p> <p>Fujifilm X100T<br /> Sony RX100 III or IV<br /> Olympus E-PL7<br /> Olympus E-M5<br /> Panasonic Lumix LX100 </p>
