I've never seen a camera without a lens cover. How does one keep the lens from getting scratched, besides keeping it in the bag all the time.

I had the same concern for a long trip, so I separately bought a lens cover with a short cord to keep it attached to the camera. However, I didn't have any problem as long as I was careful to keep it either in a case or in a separate compartment in my purse.

Yes there is a built-in lens cover. It is a shutter type made of several pieces that retracts when you power up the camera. I have yet to have to clean the lens - it keeps dust and dirt out very well.

That little black cloth was in a plastic square bag. That is one of the best eye glass or camera lens cleaner you may ever get. I have several of them and I don't share it with anyone including my wife.

I will answer as soon as possible. I am still waiting for my filters and adapters and LCD covers before I take my camera anywhere to take any photos. I just want to be safe. I scratched the lens and LCD on my last camera when I fell down, so I am trying to be extra careful. I will keep this email so I can remember to answer your question. Have you tried manual though? Going to the highest ISO would probably help with that.

It is not the lens covers rattling, it is the optical element unit inside, could be because of the image stabilization mechanism as Vincent stated, but whatever the part is, I find it impossible to believe that this the way a major manufacturer like Canon designed it. Probably the latch designed to hold it when powered off is broken and not grabbing it. That said I don

No the camera does not have a lens cover. I had a previous model that had one that slid over the lens but using it in salt water sometimes made it stick and then the camera was useless. The lens is set back in the new camera so that it will not get scratched easily.

There is no cover over the camera lens opening, however, the way the case is constructed keeps the camera lens recessed and out of "harms" way.

This lens does not come in a case. Mine came in bubble wrap. I use an old camcorder case to Hold the camera and lenses. Good luck.

Hey, I'm not an expert. I'm an individual seller, but I'm looking at it now and the glass would cover the camera so yes I think it would protect it from getting scratched and damaged. Hopefully this answer helped a little bit.

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

Every lens I own has a filter on it. It is the cheapest protection you can get and eliminates the lens cap which can cause you to lose a shot. A filter can be replaced after being damaged which is far cheaper than ruining the front element. That being said, I would recommend a high quality filter, I use B+W, to avoid image degradation.

The G16, like the G12 has no lens cover. They rely on the leaf cover. It would be a big help if Canon made a plastic cover that would snap over the lens assembly and provide good protection for the lens instead of depending on the delicate leaf.

I have my new bag sitting here in the office, still in the box :-( I'm retired and I'm still too busy to do everything I want. I ordered the lenscap leash with the camera. Thanks for mentioning the lens brush/cleaner. I really do need one of those. Have a good weekend Ernie.

I've bought about 10 of these and never had a problem other than the lens getting scratched over time. I'd email the seller.

There is a rubber pad that does a pretty good job holding the camera in position. However, if you have a heavier lens or other gear mounted to the camera, an additional method of securing would certainly help.

Keeping lens covers on lenses and keeping them in bags / pouches minimizes dust accumulation but not eliminate it. dust has a way of getting in to most places.

I did not have any problems I use case with adapter ring + filter + the larger lens cover. I have been useing this protective cover for over 30 days now on daily basis still very happy with my purchase.
