question on lense

[wesingit]

OK guys heres a question for someone more experienced than i am.

I was told for shooting one pic right after another with very little or no delay its not really the camer abut more about the Lens??

Is this true??


I ahve a canonpowershot s3 is and with the flash off it will shoot pics like crazy one right after the other with no delay its awesome and i love it but they come out blurry i might get one good pic out of 20

now witht eh flash on it will shoot but there is a delay in between that is longer than i want it to be so someone said i just need a fixed focal length lense that i shouldnt be shooting indoors with the flash on anyway.

Is this correct What is a good recommendation for a new camera to upgrade to that will shoot the pics one right after the other with VERY little or No dealy in between i want it to snap one right after the other.

Thanks for any help you can offer!!!!

Is your flash a speedlight? If so, the delay is the flash charging back up...

Its not a speedflash just the regualr flash on my camera but if i turn it off or take pics without using it then they all come out blurry for some reason

If you're moving the camera whilst pressing the shutter, you're going to get blur. You could mount it on a tripod...

hmmm... speaking of your first line regarding how the flash and the lens affects the next frame...
in a twisted sort of way it can be connected.

if you shoot at f/1.8 you will let in shirtloads of light.. so the flash wont fire as hard/long.. therefore you have more juice in the flash's capacitor for the next shot.

at f/4 or f/8 it will take more power from the flash to achieve the same exposure.

If you want to shoot in available light and rapidly the use your Nikon D5000 - You may need to use lens with a maximum aperture of around F2 and possibly high ISO..
If you want to use a flash and reduce the recycle time the bump up your ISO and as candleman .says use a wide aperture.

You may find an external flash, with an optional battery pack will allow you to shoot at a faster rate.

Did you try any of the suggestions on your previous post re this subject?

Im not proud of how many times it took me to read this before I realized you were cursing.

Frankly, while i can understand the OP, I'd be in a much more helping mood if it were written intelligently.

I will try these things and see if they help i just didnt want to run out and buy a adapter tube and lens if that wasnt going to help anything

I dont have a d5000 my friend does I only have my canon powershot s3 is for now anyways

Thanks for all the tips im going to go try it now
