Review on Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS25 - Rugged 16.1 MP Digital Camera with 8x Intelligent Zoom (Black) by Ken Coste

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great photos and videos but be careful with the screen

I took a good look at the underwater digital camera and found it to be one of the best out there. Great reviews but as with anything that can be submerged had some issues. I bought it as a Christmas present last year and we haven't had any problems until recently. The camera takes great photos/videos both in the water and on land - crystal clear, the sound quality on it is really great (video) and we really enjoyed using it before our big holiday this fall. However, we recently ran into an issue when trying to turn it on. While we were using it at the beach, it suddenly wouldn't turn on. We thought maybe the battery was dead. because we press the power button and hear the "beep-beep-beep" that the camera makes when it turns on, but the screen doesn't light up. We also checked the waterproof SD card and battery compartment and everything was clean and dry. After a few days of charging it still wouldn't turn on and we found the screen looked like it was fogged up. I called Panasonic and they asked me to send the camera in and they said they would either fix it or replace it (because it's still under warranty). They actually sent us a new camera as they couldn't fix the screen issue. Even without that somewhat disappointing issue, we both love the camera!
