Activated from the menus, after that you push one button in either Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter priority or manual mode, and you can take continuous (near-unlimited) shots. Manual puts the time at 2.3 shots a second, and that would seem to be on the money. I haven't tried this with the flash (if it's even possible - still working through the instructions) This hi-speed shooting was available with a bog standard (256MB) memory card, and I got bored taking continuous shots before the camera stopped (hence near-unlimited). I have a 3 yr old Canon A70 and it also does continuous shots. This is very useful when taking group photos when someone will have a weird facial expression so that back at the PC you can cut and paste heads to get the perfect group photo (if there is not one shot with everyone looking pretty). If the delay between shots is about a second (with the screen view off), I'd say this is still too slow. I have missed some good photos with the 'short' delay, although it does seem worse with some settings / light conditions. Noise at low light + high ISO is also a complaint that I have. It can be reduced with software but still it can degrade a photo.	Strommer (42)
