Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3

 

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 is the manufacturer's third shot at a high-end rugged camera. (It's the fourth if you include the more budget-friendly DMC-TS10 .) The price continues to hover just south of the $400 mark, but Panasonic has again bulked up...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 is a fast-shooting, easy-to-use rugged compact camera with excellent features to justify its high price.

The TS3's photos and movies look soft.

GPS and fast shooting performance make the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 a worthy rugged point-and-shoot even if its photos and videos aren't the sharpest.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3

 

Images from the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 are on the soft side, but its tough build and innovative feature set make this pocket camera our favorite rugged outdoor shooter.

Integrated GPS, barometer, and altimeter. Waterproof to 40 feet. Freezeproof to 14⁰F. Can withstand drops up to 6.6 feet. Fast. Decent low-light performance. High-quality HD video capture (1080p at 17Mbps AVCHD). Can zoom and refocus while recording...

Pricey. Soft images. Barometer and altimeter information not viewable on your computer. LCD shows motion blur. Exposed lens shield is prone to fingerprints.

Best waterproof digital camera

 

The tough Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 (also called the DMC-FT3 in some regions) can go diving, skiing, snorkeling and more with no ill effects, reviewers say. It's waterproof to 12 meters, freezeproof to -10 degrees Celsius, dustproof, and it can...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT3 Digital Camera Review

 

The FT3 should be given serious consideration from potential 'tough camera' buyers as Panasonic have given attention to little things such as a double lock on the battery compartment / sd card entry, and sped up the auto focus and start up times from...

The Panasonic Lumix FT3 is good looking, super tough and it takes great pictures. But is it worth the £300 price tag? T3 finds out

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT3

 

How many of us who take photographs on a regular basis can deny that, at one point or another, our camera hasn't inadvertently taken a tumble from our grasp or camera bag? To avoid that heart-in-mouth moment, and for added peace of mind, there's the...

Rugged build, rammed full of the latest must have features, reasonably priced (if at the higher end of the price spectrum compared with a non toughened snapper), easy to use, good results with the minimum of fuss, built in GPS, 3D mode, Full HD clips

Priced at a slight premium, operational buttons too small and fiddly to be operated with gloves on or with wet fingers

You might want a compact camera with a longer lens reach for your holidays - the so-called “travel zoom” of which Panasonic’s new Lumix DMC-TZ20 is a good alternative example - but the added toughened qualities of the FT3 are sure to be a draw for...
