THE PERFECT ACTION CAMERA June 15, 2010 NeuroSplicer (Freeside, in geosynchronous orbit) 16 out of 17 found this review helpful
In brief: if Batman had a camera, this would be it!
I was looking for a camera I could take with me to the beach or rafting without ever worrying about it. I wanted something I could drop in a backpack, leave it on the sand and take it in the sea without giving it a second thought. By now I am a satisfied PANASONIC/LUMIX customer, ever since my favorite FZ28K (the most convenient creativity camera) and my trusted TZ8 (the perfect city-tourist camera).
So, when, after all the research it came between this camera and the Olympus Stylus Tough-8000, I showed some brand-name loyalty and went with the LUMIX. And the important thing is that I never regretted it.
This camera comes with a very bright wide-angle 28mm Leica lens which is optically stabilized, capturing on a 14.1MP sensor and an adequate 4.6x zoom (128mm). Typical for a LUMIX, it has a working intelligent Auto (iA) setting that gives you a piece of mind: perfect photos every time, without having to fidget with the settings.
Departing from the auto settings, the camera offers almost 20 shooting modes, 5 color modes, 6 focus modes and decent aperture range (f/3.3 to f/10) and shutter speeds (8 to 1/1300).
The camera is Waterproof up to 10m/33ft (which means you can safely take it splashing and snorkeling but not diving without an extra casing). So far, neither condensation nor sand have slipped through the seals.
It is also advertised to be Shockproof to drops up to 2m/6.6ft and Freeze-proof -10C (claims I have yet to test - no, I am not putting it in the freezer, it will have to wait 6 months for the slopes to open!).
For such a small lens (and such a dense sensor - will the MegaPixel-war ever cease?) there is surprisingly little noise. Given enough light the pictures are flawless. When indoors or with limited light the ISO will increase and so will the noise. I can understand such things to be important to photography enthusiasts but for the purposes I bought it, this is an excellent camera.
I don't usually use my photo camera for videos but it is nice to know the option is there. The video (up to 1280x720) can be captured either in AVCHD Lite format or AVI (make sure to have a large enough memory card if saving in AVI). As an added bonus, you can zoom while shooting a video and (almost) no whirring noise registers.
My only gripes are that the position of the lens is something I had to get used to (unless I wanted to both include my left hand in the shot and leave smudges on the lens) and that there is no viewfinder. Understandable for a compact camera but having the sun behind you will test the anti-glare capability of the 2.7' LCD.
The camera comes in 4 colors: inox-gray, royal-blue, metallic-yellow and safety-orange. I opted for the later out of vanity (it... matches the orange details of my summer watch) - but as an added bonus it is really easy to find even if it has slipped to the bottom of your backpack.
An excellent (made in Japan) action camera.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
You won't regret it July 30, 2010 Karl Fisher 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love this camera, it's everything I was looking for. Great photo quality, great video quality. Really easy to take videos, and photos are a snap too. The turn dial is simple to navigate and so are the menu options. The battery lasts a very good amount of time. There are a few cons, but nothing major. It comes with a silicone covering for the camera, which makes the camera very bulky when it's on (I have been leaving it off), and it's not real easy to put on and off (which you have to do in order to clean or remove the SD card and/or battery. Also, there are two video formats, AVCHD and then basically an MOV file type. The AVCHD is better quality from what I can tell, but doesn't play on everything. My Panasonic TV which has an SD card slot could not play the videos. Luckily, I have a brand new Panasonic Blu-Ray player with an SD slot that plays the AVCHD files very well. However converting both formats to MPEG or uploading to YouTube had great results. If I had to buy another camera today, I'd make the same choice.
This Camera Captured all our Honeymoon Special Moments! August 2, 2010 Calbird 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
We purchased after researching many other waterproof cameras, the HD Video quality won us over, we got the best price from Amazon, we got the orange one it looks as great as it works, bought it to use on our recent Honeymoon at the Atlantis in the Bahamas, the camera was on my wrist the hole time while in the ocean, pools, slides, lagoons etc. Never missed one photo op and even made many HD vidoes while in ocean, on Rapid River rides, snorlkeing and on water slides. Camera was very easy to use and a very good buy and an Incredible camera for its low price! Worked great in and out of the water. Many people were amazed by it and were anxious to purchase one for thier selves.
Nice Waterproof Camera July 13, 2010 s0db 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Pros: Waterproofing works well so far. Used it in pool and at beach (Florida). I followed directions and had no moisture issues. Great image quality. Quick shot to shot. Feels sturdy (it is heavy compared to most point and shoot cameras).
Cons: Zoom and shutter buttons are side by side...easy for finger to confuse. I am sure I will get used to it.
Lumix DMC-TS2 August 8, 2010 dn 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Although I prefer slr's, I bought this to use on backpacking/troutfishing trips and I like the fact that it can go in the water and survive being dropped. I considered the Canon but there seems to be some issues with "lens failure" and the camera is much bulkier. The only issue with this camera is there is no lens cap for the outside glass and you can scratch it (actually, my girlfriend had it in her purse and now there are some scratches-but I will not bring this up with her). The camera takes good photos and video but the hq video can only be loaded through the supplied software onto a pc (or Mac if you are one of those people). Amazon's price was the best (except for some questionable camera store that had some negative complaints), I bought an extra battery and a Transcend 8gig card with a usb reader (I got a class 6). I would suggest buying a case for it and a floating strap if you are taking it anywhere other than a pool.
