Only 4 frames. There is not much, really, in terms of tricks to make it faster. The delay between the first and second frame always seems longer than it is about a second or so. Speed wouldn't concern me if you want to take panaoramas. Sports and other fast moving objects and people are a differnet story. I have my G1X mostly for travel. Nothign better in that area in terms of IQ and size (and now price, too).

That's exactly what I'm thinking of getting one for - as a travel backup for my DSLR that won't give up much in image quality (going on a 2-week road trip later this year). Plus, the lens seems better than most DSLR kit lenses, and for a lot of what I like to shoot when travelling, I really do need a stabilized zoom and good high-ISO performance. My friend just bought a G15 which seems quite responsive and "snappy" but when the light gets dim the G1X will be in a different league.

Scott
