Does anyone else think the flash on the s95 is a bit awkward?

well, it is limited, mainly in that you can't bounce it and can't adjust flash exposure in auto mode. plus, the types of flash are limited at least in the automatic and scene modes. that said, in most of the other modes (P,A,S,M) you can adjust the flash exposure compensation, and i find that setting it down a notch or two usually helps to avoid blowing out my subject.

I also noticed this and first thought it was dust. But it's not... I think it has to do with the flash being wonky.

You have to pop it open for the flash to work. Actually have not used the flash much.

No idea. I bought it. Wasn't impressed. Plus flash didnt pop out consistently and returned it.

Not necessarily.... I can admit that there was a time when I used to get a slight orange(ish) tinge when using the flash to take a shot in a dimly lit room. HOWEVER that could have been related to software (I WAS running JB 4.1.2 back then). Since I upgraded to JB 4.3 - I haven't noticed the same tinge (then again - I'm not much of a camera phone picture taker). I just took a few shots prior to answering your question and I didn't notice any anomalies with the case on the phone :-)

Flash is pretty underpowered; understandable at this size. Without flash it pops up to ISO 800 and if the camera is stablized, generates a decent picture with a bit of noise/grain - but not terrible. Anti-shake not great in low light, so needs to be set on a table or tripod to take a decent pic

So far I have not had a problem with the flash. However, most of the photos I have taken have been landscapes with good lighting so the flash hasn't been used all that much. Sorry I haven't anymore info and good luck.

Possibly, the flash speed is adjustable. however you may need 2 or 3 for the proper effect.

I believe the flash would be more of a distraction. The camera will allow you to set the ISO high enough to allow it to take a picture without the flash... So I guess my answer would be yes I would feel comfortable. A word of caution, you will want to establish a balance between Speed and ISO or blurred movement and graininess. Perhaps before the show begins.

I find the EVF viewer to be clear and bright. My brother has an S3 and the viewer is very dark and tough to use in my opinoin.

i'm not all that good with technology either and am somebody's elderly mother, so it may be relevant that i find it easy to use. not as easy to use as my former camera, but i bought this one because it had image stabilization which was important to me. that said, i mostly just put it on automatic. i know how to turn the flash off and on, but the rest of its many capabilities are largely a mystery to me. e.g., there is a button that says 'movie'. i imagine that makes some kind of movie but i'm unlikely to ever explore its mysteries...

The flash is fairly quick, but overheats if you shoot too quickly(10 shots in secession at full power) Full manual, no auto. Although it does have a slave mode.

As someone said, the camera and flash are a bit different, so not a proper fit anyway.

I have the 5s and when it comes to taking pictures with flash sometimes it'll make a picture look a little cloudy, but not always... It's weird...

You aren't supposed to have flash turned on in camera, leave it off, test the light by pressing it manually. Typically doesn't work on full auto.

`I have experienced this as well, especially with inside photos, no flash comes out too dark, flash is too light. There is an adjustment to the amount of brightness on the flash, just haven't "played" with the camera enough to be proficient at it.

it could be defective.. the flash *should* go completely off when you press the flash button..
