Panasonic Lumix Digital Camera

Panasonic has unleashed the Lumix TS1 , a waterproof, shockproof and dustproof digital
camera, with video recording capabilities. The TS1’s tough and rugged design makes it
the ideal choice for active users needing the ultimate hybrid for capturing both still and motion images during outdoor activities.

The TS1 has 12.1 megapixel resolution, features a 28mm wide-angle Leica lens, a 4.6x optical zoom and Panasonic’s proprietary iA (Intelligent Auto) mode, making this an easy-to-use, yet powerful camera that packs advanced imaging features.

Starting at the 28mm wide angle, and zooming up to a useful 128mm in telephoto, the TS1
gives users the flexibility for a variety of shooting environments – especially underwater, where movement is often restricted and the angle of view becomes important for composing shots.

The TS1 also features a 2.7-inch, 230,000-dot Intelligent LCD with a wide viewing angle, enhancing visibility during recording and playback by automatic brightness control according to the environment’s lighting conditions. Plus, the TS1’s LCD panel is deliberately thickened for protection against pressure, allowing the display to operate with clear visibility even underwater.

The Lumix TS1 sells for around $400.
