How is the camera function? Looking for something that will allow me to take pictures in/around water and use the flash.

The pictures I took while I had the case on came out beautifully. Even took some underwater pics and video. The audio on the videos with the case was also very good. The whole reason I ordered the phone case was for a summer trip to one of the water parks and it did exactly what I intend it to do. The phone case was mostly satisfactory other than the problems with the phone calls.

This is not a good case, it is really hard to talk on the phone with and to use your phone. I never used it underwater, but I wouldn't trust it.

It's clear plastic that covers the flash and camera so it should work but I've never tried it. I try not to use the case very much because my phone over heats in it. Life Proof is better.

I've never used the flash when the camera is wet, but I believe it is waterproof.

It does have a flash which like most P+S is good to about 10 ft.It does have a hot shoe ,but if you get the viewfinder,which I highly recommend you won't be able to use the hot shoe.If more flash is important You should look into some type of slave/trigger device.Good luck ,great camera

Thanks, Saleh...Ive already purchased the camera and found that out. Not a great flash but an amazing little camera!

You can take pictures right after one another outdoors. When using the flash there is a very small delay but it is still the fastest point and shoot that I have found. The shutter speed is actually why I bought this camera and I have been very happy with it.

To use the flash, you have to manually lift it up from the top of the camera. It does work quite well though.

yes, I recently took it with me to Jamaica and had no problems with it. It never leaked underwater and took wonderful pictures for a small point and shoot camera.

Good size....fits in any pocket, which means I'm more likely to take it with me and get shots I'd otherwise miss. Images seem clearer and brighter than with my previous Canon. Functionality is pretty much what you'd expect from a camera in this price range. There are a few "specialty" settings that come in handy (snow scenes, etc.) The positioning of the flash is a bit annoying. It's exactly where you instinctively put your finger and I end up blocking it almost every time the flash pops up automatically. But, it takes great pictures, so I'm very happy with it.

More water resistant than anything. I know there are some on the market you can submerge in water, but I love having a camera that works and a phone to talk on and I know you sacrifice on both of those with something that is completely waterproof.

It takes fine pictures at night. It isn't SLR quality, and occasionally even my iPhone does as well, but where it really shines is under water. We dropped ours in 36ft off of the bow of our sailboat and it did fine, even after spending several hours down there until we could recover it (no dive gear on the boat and that is beyond my free diving capability). It is still a point and shoot with a small lens. I am happy with it, but it is far from a perfect camera. Our Canon SLR is superior, but that is to be expected. Its a great travel camera for those active moments where you can't take an SLR.

I have a Canon T2i and in a boat similar to some of the others in that cost is an issue and so is the fact that I am technically challenged, not understated, and would like something that pretty much takes care of itself when the camera is in auto mode, which is most of the time. Can anyone recommend a flash to consider? Thanks.

I think this camera take pretty good pictures. The clarity is almost as good as my professional camera. I haven't use it under the water yet. It felt into the water few times when I went to paddle board. It is a little heavy. I use it as a regular camera carry that in my purse daily.

It takes photos and video and is waterproof up to 10' of water (I think). I bought it for my then 13 year old son and he took it everywhere including the beach and the pool.

I'm really surprised at how well the camera does at low lighted events. I usually take both flash pics and no flash pics but find many times the pics taken with available light are better than with the flash. Hope that helps.

I bought it for a trip and yes I took it snorkeling and we had no issues. It's a cheap camera so you get what you pay for in quality. If I tried to take an out of water picture I had a lot more issues with dots of water or smudges or blurry spots but for the most part every picture I took under water was good. Hope that helps.

I have the DMC-ZS20, and I've found it to be fully suitable for my needs. Has a fully manual option, as well as aperture and shutter priorities, and the automatic mode works great too. Also has a suite of built in shooting "scenes", one of which is specifically for underwater. This mode has my pictures from dives already looking decently colorful even before doing any correction. It is still just a point and shoot, so it doesn't have the largest sensor and can struggle in low light, but for amateur underwater photography I've found it to be an awesome camera/case combo.
