Was looking for a compact camera with which one can cheerfully snap drauflos, especially to the young to take pictures quickly. Now I regret to say that in my opinion the camera is too slow to trigger snap to quick snapshots of children. It needs about 2-3 seconds until it focuses and finally triggers (with flash), and since it is already too late and the snapshot to one actually wanted to photograph is already over. I must confess I have the camera had mainly indoors and at night under artificial light in use. If you want to photograph "Asked" scenes and thus has enough time makes really good pictures, however, when you want to photograph children herumtobende the camera is too slow. If they are then triggers the images then often blurred because so the subject does not hold still!
Previously had a Ixus 850IS which turned sharply lot faster and triggered. In my opinion therefore is not optimal for taking snapshots indoors.
