Underwater Digital Camera Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3
Fresh out the technology gate, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 is turning heads and raising eyebrows, not forgetting flying off the shelves. The next generation of the TS series, the digital camera itself is designed for the active lifestyle (or possibly just the careless college kid) and contains more features than can fit around the box.
First and foremost, the Lumix TS3 is definitely an underwater camera. There are plenty of cameras available for the more active, outdoors crowd - however 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 from the Lumix TS3 is one of four main selling points for your rugged camera. Additionally, the TS3 is a shockproof camera up to 6.6 feet, based on the MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock test standard. Essentially that just means the camera is internally ready to withstand a fall from your moderate distance. Still it gets dings and the lens is capable of scratches, but the vital components of the digital camera are safe.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 is also a dustproof digital camera to the IP6X standard, meaning the finer particles of dust avoid the chassis of the camera during hikes, sports, and beach trips (though leaving it inside the sand still is not a smart idea). The 4th major feature from 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 standard temperature for activities like skiing.
The GPS function around the shockproof digital camera shouldn't be confused with a common location-finding feature. Rather, it's more for geo-tagging the actual location of where the photo was taken. The GPS initially has a while once booted up, therefore it is not something to complete in a hurry. But it is completely functional (particularly in open areas) combined with compass, altimeter, and barometer. And never a common feature entirely on an underwater digital camera.
But no matter ruggedness, the most important section of a camera should invariably be the picture quality. With some setting adjustments, the 12.1 megapixel underwater digital camera having a LEICA DC 28mm wide-angle lens takes wonderful outdoor pictures and fantastic 1920 x 1080 AVCHD video. But you can find distinct drawbacks.
The flash is either on or off, and that leads to extremely flash-washed pictures in low-light situations. The IAuto mode and Active Outdoor Scene modes lend greater functionality for the generally abysmal point-and-shoot automatic modes, although the best decision is to always find the proper settings manually. The IAuto mode is aimed at outdoors shots, so it can lead to grainy photos otherwise, thanks to the high isolation and fast shutter speeds. However, the fast-motion action pictures using this waterproof digital camera are exceptional to whatever else in the market, thanks partly 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, even though it is available for a user with time to take the 20 panning shots necessary - and the VIERA 3D television in the home to view it on. The Lumix TS3 has some incredible shutter speed options for night shots - up to a 60-second exposure - which are rare for regular point-and-shoots, a lot less an underwater digital camera. The 2.7-inchd LCD screen minimizes glare but nevertheless doesn't do the pictures justice. The best results always come after being cleaned up a little on the computer, although the white balance, auto-focus features, as well as other quick adjustments provided on this underwater digital camera do permit the user to take great pictures pre-final adjustments.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 will be the top in its class to get a handheld camera. But it is also in a rare class. It's an underwater camera, a shockproof camera, a dustproof camera, and a freezeproof camera. And i believe that now, it's still a great digital camera - for the right lifestyle. The versatility from the camera does cause some sacrifices in terms of basic indoor shooting, but the overall quality, durability, and feature-list from the Lumix DMC-TS3 makes it the best choice to have an active owner.
