.8 FPS max In continuous mode . Cycle time average is a frame every 2.2 seconds in single-shot mode. So no- its quite poor.

Honest reviews with sample pics can be found here http://www.digitalcamerareview.com/default.asp?newsID=3938 and here http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/SD780IS/SD780ISA.HTM note its low light performance and loss of detail and contrast also note the shots above ISO 200.

I think the glowing reviews are based off what it does do for its size...
