How well does the camera stay clean, does the white show finger prints? We live in the country and it for my daughter who outside a lot.

Hi, this camera is my daughter's as well. She takes it to friend's houses and just recently a trip to Florida. I was happy to see that it does stay clean and simple marks can be wiped off. I was worried about the white, but so far so good!

I just wipe it down with a baby wipe. I don't use it in all the little nooks and crannies I use a q-tip for that. I have kids so I understand how it can get dirty lol. I also got a hard case for it for extra protection.

not sure what your question is, but if you are looking for should you buy one? the answer is yes, it takes great photos, it is easy to conceal and we have been using them for several months in Florida, rain, heat, cold without any problems.

We have a very low-end case for the camera. After all, it's shock-resistant :) It has survived whatever a 12 year-old girl can throw at it after two weeks at the shore and multiple family trips and still takes very nice photos.

The outside of this camera is metal. I have used this camera inside and outside in the southwest, where it rarely gets below freezing. It actually work better outdoors. Indoors the white level sometimes get somewhat intense in different lighting, even though the picture is good. The adjustments a relatively easy to use.

It is very clear and does reflect but I have not noticed this to be a problem since I use a stylus. I have found fingerprints to create more problems than clean ones

Not true at all. I use it primarily outside and have never had a problem. It isn't great for looking at past taken pictures outside, but you can see everything you need to take pictures. Generally I don't view my already taken pictures on my camera, they go on a phone or computer. I have used it at the beach and similar type places so I am pretty sure I have tested it in the brightest possible settings and never had a problem seeing the screen. For those who did, there is a way to adjust the brightness of the screen in the settings I think

No finger prints But I personally don't like the feel of the clear very very slippery I would suggest one of the collored ones for some reason they have a much better feel to them but hey that's your choice

It hasn't been a problem for me but I am very careful when using and storing the camera. Plan on getting a screen protector.

The camera is somewhat weather-proof but not exactly waterproof. It can withstand getting a bit wet in the rain or some splashes in a kayak but if it were submerged in the water, it will almost certainly get ruined.

No. I go everywhere with my camera. It gets tossed around. I haven't noticed any scratches.

No fingerprints. No scuff marks so far. We all use our phones like crazy. Although we do store them in pockets and purses. It's not like they come in contact with sharp objects, maybe keys and key chains. Still looks new after 6 months or more.

I have had it hanging in the woods for about three years almost straight, it has survived all the rain, snow and bad weather that Colorado can throw at it. I won't say waterproof because I am not the one who makes the camera but mine has survived all the water it has been through and still takes great pictures. I highly recomend

My camera is mounted in the bumper....to left of rear license plate...(this is on a F150 Ford pickup)....I have had no problem with dirt/etc clouding up or causing a problem with it functioning.....remember I live in South Carolina.... you would probably need to wipe off or clean the lens/camera periodically if you live where there is a lot of snow/slush/ salt spray/etc as in the northeast, etc. Hope this helps.

It has not been a problem at all. This is far better a backup camera than the other two I've had. I've put it through the car wash 2 or 3 times.

I would say no. Mine does show finger prints if your hands are not super clean and dry......which in not usual in my kitchen!:)

I love mine. Fits well and is very handy to use the camera with it. Provides some protection when you are out and about with it. Enjoy.

I currently use an FZ30 and I was thinking of replacing it with an FZ50 because my FZ30 has exactly the problem you've experienced. Only mine is a C-shaped mark in the upper right. There are no detectable marks on the lens and the camera has never gotten wet. I've always wrapped it up when I brought it in from the cold. I can't imagine how the sensor could have gotten dirty. I haven't checked out getting it repaired yet, but I'm disappointed to hear the problem can occur on a FZ50 too. Aside from this, it's the perfect camera.
