I think you have to enable burst mode tygger

your not missing much, burst mode just gives you a bunch of blurry pics in a row.............(& then it's more work to delete them all)

I never use the camera anymore, I think it's totally useless.

I have a D-SLR Canon EOS 1D Mark II I use for action sports shots, & a Canon SD100IS that is a tiny pocket camera & takes incredible pics. The little Canon was less than $200, is 100 times faster on the shutter reponse than the TouchPro & the pics are much much higher quality (& it's not because it's higher megapixel, it's because the lens sucks in the TP)

I am glad that you can make due. For me, one of the big draws of the TP was to consolidate most of my gadgets.

I just pulled out my old 1.3mp camera phone and it can take better motion shots than the TP.

1) What is it that makes the TP so bad? Is it the refresh rate? Processor not fast enough?
2) Why is my cheap'o camera phone better that the TP?
3) What makes a regular camera not blurry in action shots?

Bigger lens which lets in more light & allows a much higher shutter speed.

I was hoping the camera in the TP was going to be better also, but my wife has a two year old Samsung flip phone that is MUCH easier to take a good pic with than the TP............

I take pretty good pics with the Pro. I think a lot has to do with having a steady hand. However, I have looked back on cheap camera phone pics and they do seem much better

Of course a steady hand is important, but you can say that about any camera. The fact is, the camera in the TP is really a POS especially for what the thing costs..........

I dispute that from an image quality standpont. Handling related stuff, sure, but as far as quality from a well-taken image, the Pro is up there with the best camera phones.
