Hi Flofru

I bought the Neo for my father. Yes, you can shake it and switch on the light or start the camera.

But there is one limitation which I only realised afterwards. My father always prefers folding leather cases that cover the display. If the display is covered, the shaking function unfortunately doesn't work. 🙄

I can't explain why this is the case.

Switching on the powerful light with a vigorous shake works perfectly. I use it often.

Yes, this works. You have to activate it under "Fast torch".

yes
