Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 12.1 MP Rugged/Waterproof Digital Camera with 4.6x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD (Blue)

This camera has exceeded my expectations in every way. I had the opportunity to use in the rain, the sea and pool. The image quality is much higher than it is explored, especially underwater. High definition video is very good water up and down. The unit seems robust based on the extensive use of metals in the body. I do not care if I let it go.

Why do I have to buy? Good for about a Caribbean vacation, reviews and specifications. I have the intention to videotape rays and sea soon. At first I bought a Pentax WG-one high definition video was really terrible and image stabilization in the soil. Of course, I am very picky about the quality of high definition video (I do video) and Pentax is not enough for me. So I turned and this unit. Glad I did.

Photos and videos taken with underwater TS3 + are crisp balanced. The seal seems appropriate and does not fail after three hours in the pool and several tours at sea. Pictures taken on the ground are very good and appear 85% as good as a DSLR (which will never replace a DSLR). I like to use and attracts the most is that I can get it wet and do not worry. That may accidentally drop it and do not worry. Plus, I can slip this camera in your pocket-portable.

Learn more about this camera:
1) Do not expect to record his jump shot in pool. The units of seals are not intended to impact on the water. Do not put it in water, as a stream or a massive wave.
2) sand, one grain of sand stuck in my shutter button the camera and not act like he was trying to concentrate all the time (did the other buttons on the camera useless). The camera comes with a small brush and I used to take the sand. It works well, but the whole experience was not a fun time. At least I posted this for others.
3) If used at sea, remember to dive into the water faucet when done according to instructions. Allow to dry before opening. Take your time.
4) follow the instructions for the unit of care, such as making sure the joints are clean before entering the water.
5) Buy Chums (float Amazon search camera), especially if you intend to use it in a pool. He came out of my pocket a few times and luckily I had a CHUM attachment, which allows you to float rather than sink.

I love this camera.
