        There is an option, it is in the multiple shot modes...one of them turns the camera like a ''mitraillette'' :))))) It shoots fast all wright. They say 0 sec for the shutter...it must have it. I know my small Sony camera has it...I am buying this camera next and I sure hope it has it. ♥

        I have only had my HX300 camera for a week now. Basically, I love it. Crazy zoom and macro!! So far, my biggest dislike is the 2-3 second pause after a shot is taken that previews the picture for you. I would very much like to (oprionally) turn that preview off so I can get to the next shot more quickly. There doesn't seem to be a way to do that. If I missed it, please advise. Other quirks are minor and don't detract from the camera. Oh, and the manual sux big time. What ever happened to good manuals? They are just not available any more and it's not just Sony. I give the HX300 4.5 stars at this point..
