I have 2 questions. 1. With the lens on, how thick is the camera? 2. If you take off the removable lens, is the camera still functional? Thanks

With the lens on, the camera is about several inches thick. The camera itself will not function without a lens attached to it. The camera will turn on still, yes, but you will not be able to take pictures without a lens attached.

I don't have specific measurements, but with the lens on the whole system fit into my small Coach handbag. I only had my wallet and chapstick in there also, but it fit comfortably. The camera will not take pics without the lens on. I am not sure if you can review pics without the lens attached.

It is about 3 3/4 inches thick. you can buy a smaller lens to make it smaller.

about 3-4". Of course you can't take any picture without a lens on the camera but you still can review picture or play the video without the lens on.

it is a approx 3 1/2 inches with lens that came with it. if you take the lens the camera is not functional, lens is required.

I think the camera body is plenty durable, but I think the week point is the automatic lens cover. It automatically opens and closes as you turn the camra on and off. However, I have not had any problem with this nor have I read about problems with this. On the other hand, I have recently purchased an iPhone so that I don't need to carry a camera at all, to get pictures.

Yes! It is one of the greatest lens purchases I've ever made! I almost never take it off my camera :)

I don't touch it. I use only a mount lenses. So I never take it off. Never had a problem.

The unit is fully functional. There is a lens. I have used mine several times and it is the envy of the neighborhood. If you are asking if it has a spare lens, then no.

I could not find a way to use it. It did work very well with the non-zoom lens setting. I did have to remove the camera strap when I used this & use a strap on the housing. I hope that this answers your questions, I'm glad that I bought it.

I looove the camera, it is just great. Haven't seen the need for an extra lens yet. It is not that I hadn't had the opportunity to use it, I've had a couple of times where I wished I had one, but the price is just not worth those few times.

The lens that comes with this camera is perfect for you then. And the battery lasts longer than you think. I bought a bunch and did not need to. Just keep an eye on it and keep it charged. Enjoy.

You have to take the camera out of Automatic mode. You can only use the lens in manual mode.

I'm not sure "exactly" what you mean ... but when the camera is on ... the lens extends out from the camera body. When you shut it down ... the lens is retracted back into the body and there is there is a mechanism that automatically covers and protects the lens. It's flat and compact. Very nice design. I hope that helps you out.

Ronald if this question is directed at me I cannot help you. I no longer have the camera, didn't experience any lens or sensor problems and do not have one for sale. Sorry.

I need to pull it when taking the battery out from camera. It's not easy but manageable. However, I notice the battery drain faster than the original. Hope this help.

Hi. When the camera is switched off or the lens detached, the motor is disengaged so the focus elements and/or aperture rattle around. I had one of these for a while, and the 30mm version and both did the same thing. I never got the sense that anything was in danger of breaking and as soon as you turn the power on everything snaps into place.

Yes, I need to put on the lens to take pictures. The camera itself doesn't include lens. It is a rechargeable Li battery and It's very good.

Thank you for the excellent reply PD. What do you guys think about using the 70-200 lens with a camera that does not have a full sized sensor? I have a rebel XT and I think thats almost half the size of the 1d sensor. Still a good focal length?

The lens cover snaps on and off. A small flat screwdriver makes it easier, but you have to be careful. There are tabs on two sides of the lens that fit into slots. You don't want to crack the lens.

It's funny you mention the lense. I have put it my pocket and now it wont close. It is a real pain. I thank you for your honesty. It probably was a rep I was talking to. I wish I could have tried the casio beforexmaking my purchase. But I didn't have the time to wait for it to get here by mail. Perhaps my next camera purchase will be the casio. Thought the canon seems to be working well for now. As long as I make sure the lense cover is completely open. Thanks again.
