does it effect camera

No, it does not affect the function of your camera. It allows all phone functions. It does make the phone a little lager, but I've not found that to be a problem.

It does not affect the camera in any way that I have noticed. It does significantly inhibit the cell phone signal though (by about half for me). In rural areas it gets little to no signal at all when using this case.

I have not noticed impairment of the camera operation. It has been working well since I installed it.

Yep, absolutely. It does not interfere with the camera lens. It does interfere with the flash projection a bit though, the same way that it would if you had a thick case on it.

No. This is a DSLR/still photo camera only. It will do, however, just about anything else a user can ask a camera to do!.

You definitely do not want to purchase this camera for the film effect that it does. It has a lot of control over the amount of stutter effect (function is called "FLASH"), but you have to re-set it every time you turn the power off which can be a real nuisance. There is also a "Movie" effect but I feel that it adds too much stutter.

no I don't think that it does. It only acts as a shutter button for your camera. Which is awesome!!

It does leave a mark on the camera. You have to be careful putting it on.I personally haven't used the kit since about a week after I got it.

Yes it will definately cause barrel distortion. It will degrade the image. A cheap way to add a wide affect.

No the camera is not affected at all. I'm able to take pictures without any problems. every single person who has seen my case has loved it including my brothers who like hightech gadgetty cases

If you keep it attached to the camera all the time, it makes the camera slightly heavier. Otherwise, I find no downsides to the device. It works well and it is inexpensive.

No it does not interfere, as far as picture quality is concerned there really is no effect from the case itself, the opening to the camera does not have a plastic film cover, it is open and exposed.

It does, but it doesn't really do anything "macro"....... if you get the camera closer than 2 feet away from your subject, it will not focus at all

It can, however there is a square IR filter over the sensor chip in the camera used to block IR light and improve picture quality. This filter can be removed to make the camera more sensitive to IR light by unscrewing the main lens and carefully pulling out the filter.

Yes, the cover does affect the images taken with flash. The top part of the image will have a lighter color as the flash reflects on the cover somehow. I always have to remove the cover if I don't want my image to look like they have a subtle white layer on it.

Only if you're running the CHDK firmware "tweak". Out of the box, no it does not. Here is a forum thread about CHDK on a photography site that you may find useful: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1164742 Disclaimer; I am not recommending, nor do I endorse modifying the camera and am not responsible should anyone do so.

No. Not that I have noticed. I even used my phone to take pictures in Ireland and they were not affected.

No and the camera often has trouble focusing. So lots of your photos will be blurry
