Just started resetting itself after every picture. Sometimes it does it several times in a row or when I am about to take the picture it shuts down and restarts itself. Just started doing this, but uses by battery up fast because of this.

Regarding the date and time, Actually its normal everytime you removed the battery you need to reset the date its is because the camera doesnt have a internal or built-in battery that can run the internal clock or maintain the date settings.,
Regarding the taking picture that will take time, it is because your using a too high mega pixel of the camera, Higher mega pixel will have a bigger file size and it will take to process the picture. the best thing you can do is to lower the Mega pixel or the picture size make it atleast 5MP or 6MP., I can guarantee to you you will have a great picture outcome and lessen the time of processing picture.
By the way you can lower the mega pixel (picture size)by pressing the menu button of your camera
