I see case is cut out so camera is accessible, but how functional is it really when taking pics? Esp for fast moving toddler or dogs?

I had no problem taking pictures with my phone in the case. It was very functional at a car show but I wasn't trying to take pictures of a toddler though.

It's as fast as it would be without the case. It is rare that the case gets in the way.

When you take a picture with flash light is reflected over the case and you can see it like a blot on the picture.

Hi dog29! Catharina here from The Friendly Swede! I do apologize for the tardy reply! It should be as accessible as it would be without the case. On older batches the case would sometimes interfere with the photos when you used the flash, but we have made the camera opening larger on recent batches, so you should not have that problem now!

If you don't have the flap secured by the back of the phone its pretty accessible but having it latched does slow it down.

Yes. The only thing inconvenient, but it goes with this kind of case, is that you have to remove the bottom to get the SD card or battery out. When you're shooting, you've got the front dangling, as well as the lens cover. It's a trade off with not carrying a bag around and having to dig the camera out of it. But this is a high quality item and protects the camera well, though it's not the most practical perhaps.

It will still provide good protection for the camera. You could use the empty space to carry your lens cloth. The front piece can be removed while shooting. The case has to be removed for downloading pics and battery changes but it's just the twist of a dial.

It's good for most standard pocket sized cameras. My camera fits perfect in it with the little orange sponge block that comes with it. The only this is if you want to take pictures or video, depending on where your settings buttons are located on your camera you will have to adjust it before placing it inside the case, however it is easy to open and close. But it worked great for the water. Brought it to the ocean and got some great underwater pictures and videos.

Absolutely. I take off the strap and always keep it in the case except when I want to take a clear picture. The thick case sort of gets in the way of the camera.

I've had my case for awhile now and have had no issues with the camera. The cutout for the flash in no way hinders the ability to shoot your photo and they look just as good as if you'd taken them without the case. It took me a short period of time to figure out exactly how I needed to hold the phone for the photo as the front flap is hanging down on a landscape shot and to the side on a portrait shot. Once I figured that out it was smooth sailing. Beyond that, I am truly enjoying not having to carry a wallet. If I have my phone, I have what I need. It seems to be holding up quite well and I recommend this case. I've had my case for awhile now and have had no issues with the camera.

Camera works well with case. I just hang the flap to side or down. I thought it would be awkward but the front flap/cover helps me hold the phone while taking pictures. Hope that helps

My wife uses the camera for point-and-shoot, and she is no whiz at cameras. I believe that it would be easy for a child to turn on the video accidentally and not realize it, but I think the camera might work out okay. It's a kind of waste of the camera's capabilities though. You might give it to your child with the idea that you would return it if he/she can't handle it. The switches (on/off, etc.) do take some dexterity.

It is a somewhat flexible material so you can press some buttons. On ours we can use the power button and the one to take a picture. The problem we have had is with the camera becoming loose in the case and then you can't really use it unless you get out of the water and readjust it is the case.

Yes. Just keep in mind that taking pics with the rear camera will require two hands since you have to keep the flap out of the way since there isn't a cut out on the flap.

No major hindrances. You just need to maneuver the case accordingly but the camera works fine when in the case

No, it has a very defined cutout for the lens and flash. I have not had any problems taking pictures with this case.

No, it has a cut out so it doesn't cover the camera. Won't affect your picture taking

The camera works well, you just have to make sure the tab that covers the camera is held back. There is a spot on the back of the case that holds the tab.

Hi, this is not a great camera case, it's way too small. Go for something bigger.

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.

No you need to take it out of the case to take a photo. But I husband doesn't take photos as I do all of that. So it's good for him? Hope this helps out.
