Review on Panasonic Lumix TS20 16 by Joel Wright

This camera is really great! I'm really surprised by the quality of the photos taken in the water and on land. I have a digital SLR camera, consider myself a good amateur photographer and I have high standards for the quality of my photographs. I live in the Caribbean and wanted the camera to record when I'm at the beach and snorkeling. I didn't want to risk my prized DSLR by buying a camera case for it, and this camera turned out to be cheaper than the case I was considering. This camera is a great tool for underwater photography. It allows you to shoot from angles you can't reach with a non-waterproof camera. I've used it snorkeling and in the pool for several days in a row by carefully following the care instructions and the camera works very well. I am really pleasantly surprised by the quality of the photos. I was able to take amazing photos of a stingray and a school of coral and fish. The colors are vibrant and true to what you see in real life! The waters I usually snorkel in are crystal clear, so the pictures I take are really impressive. Of course, if the water is cloudy, the picture will be cloudy too. For DSLR owners like me, this camera is a great complement to DSLRs. It doesn't take mirror-quality photos (obviously), but the quality is good enough for hobbyists like me in my opinion. it would be. It can be used in all weather conditions (snow, heat, underwater), the photo quality in water and on land is very good, and the price is incredible. It's also very small and slim, making it very easy to pack for any adventure. I have a floating camera grip when snorkeling and it works great http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003CK10DG/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00. I would recommend buying this if you plan on using it in the water a lot as the camera will sink if dropped. LOVE and VERY happy with this purchase! I am so glad that I now have the opportunity to take pictures in and under the water! My husband isn't thrilled though as being in the water was the only time he wasn't forced to pose for photos! Ha!
