Underwater Digital Camera Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3
Fresh out the technology gate, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 is already turning heads and raising eyebrows, not to mention flying off the shelves. The third generation of the TS series, the camera itself is designed for the active lifestyle (or maybe just the careless college kid) and has more features than can fit on the box.
First and foremost, the Lumix TS3 is an underwater digital camera. There are a lot of cameras out there for the more active, outdoors crowd — but they aren’t meant for under water. The Lumix TS3 is a waterproof digital camera up to 40 feet, making it great for snorkeling and boat trips, but not for diving. The underwater digital functionality of the Lumix TS3 is one of four main selling points for the rugged camera. Additionally, the TS3 is a shockproof digital camera up to 6.6 feet, according to the MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock test standard. Essentially that just means the camera is internally prepared to withstand a fall from a moderate distance. It still gets dings and the lens is capable of scratches, but the vital components of the camera are safe.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 is also a dustproof digital camera to the IP6X standard, meaning the finer particles of dust stay out of the chassis of the camera during hikes, sports, and beach trips (though leaving it in the sand still isn’t a smart idea). The fourth major feature of the camera’s durability is its ability to withstand cold temperatures: the Lumix TS3 is a freeze-proof digital camera down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit, a normal temperature for activities like skiing.
The GPS function on the shockproof digital camera shouldn’t be confused with a common location-finding feature. Rather, it’s more for geo-tagging the exact location of where the photo was taken. The GPS initially takes a while once booted up, so it’s not something to do in a hurry. It is fully functional (particularly in open areas) along with the compass, altimeter and barometer. This is not a common feature found on an underwater digital camera.
But regardless of ruggedness, the most important part of a camera should always be the picture quality. With some setting adjustments, the 12.1 megapixel underwater digital camera with a LEICA DC 28mm wide-angle lens takes wonderful outdoor pictures and fantastic 1920 x 1080 AVCHD video. But there are distinct drawbacks.
The flash is either on or off, which leads to extremely flash-washed pictures in low-light situations. The IAuto mode and Active Outdoor Scene modes lend greater functionality to the generally abysmal point-and-shoot automatic modes, though the best decision is to always find the proper settings manually. The IAuto mode is geared towards outdoors shots, so it can lead to grainy photos otherwise, thanks to the high isolation and fast shutter speeds. That being said, the fast-motion action pictures with this waterproof digital camera are exceptional to anything else in the market, thanks in part to the high-speed CCD sensor and Venus Engine FHD.
The 3D photo mode feels like more of a gimmick and less of a practical feature, though it is available for a user with time to take the 20 panning shots necessary — and the VIERA 3D television at home to view it on. The Lumix TS3 does offer some incredible shutter speed options for night shots — up to a 60-second exposure — that are rare for regular point-and-shoots, much less an underwater digital camera. The 2.7-inchd LCD screen minimizes glare but still doesn’t do the pictures justice. The best results always come after being cleaned up a little on the computer, though the white balance, auto-focus features, and other quick adjustments made available on this underwater digital camera do allow for the user to take great pictures pre-final adjustments.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 is the top in its class for a handheld camera. But it’s also in a rare class. It’s an underwater digital camera, a shockproof digital camera, a dustproof digital camera and a freezeproof digital camera. And after all that, it’s still a great digital camera — for the right lifestyle. The versatility of the camera does lead to some sacrifices when it comes to basic indoor shooting, but the overall quality, durability and feature-list of the Lumix DMC-TS3 makes it the best choice for an active owner.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2 14.1 MP Waterproof Digital Camera
I very really love the whole ruggedness of this camera. Hanging out with horses all day and having the ability to video/snap a pic and then shove it in an exceedingly pocket while not worrying concerning it falling out of said pocket and breaking may be a dream! i am used to carrying around a nikon d200 with extended lens and thus this can be quite a brand new experience! but, that said, i’m using this camera for it’s movie capabilities principally cuz of the ccd rather than the cmos chip, (not very the difficulty to mention this can be a photograph camera, not a video camera, thus no one has to flame me for such) and that i notice that this itty bitty camera may be a very little troublesome to zoom in/out whereas videoing as a result of it’s slightly awkward ‘rectangular’ style. and also the microphone picks up every kind of staticy noises… however I tend to delete the video thusund post processing and place in my very own so what the heck! Not that massive of a deal.
The video quality is gorgeous compared to my previous Sony D8 apart from the slight shakiness that every one these new, little cameras have. that’s the most distinction when comparing the previous vogue cameras to something new. A tripod is unusable most of the places i am going and also the sure heft of the previous vogue camera tended to create folks hold additional firmly and keep the video steadier. however that heft additionally created me less doubtless to need to require the camera thus it’s kinda a catch-22. Anyways, i take advantage of VirtualDub and also the Deshaker filter to induce rid of ‘most’ of the shakes and life is nice for what I want!
So do not verify the colours or ‘sharpness’ of the vids… post processing to boost colours and then compression changes everything. the particular video from the camera is sharp as a tack and beautiful. however do notice that the zoom in/out may be a very little abrupt and arduous to stay swish. Also, that’s the ‘best’ I may do as so much as smoothing out the shakiness. somebody else could do higher except for a ‘slightly’ (minimally? 
) average pc user,that is the simplest I may do in an quantity of your time that did not exceed my kid’s highschool years… LOL
