This camera has a point and shoot function, but also some easy to change manual settings. Auto adjustment is limited at telephoto - when you want long distances to fit the normal picture mode or scene. There is a burst shooting feature to quickly snap a series of photos. After reading the last few reviews I thought that either people don't read the instructions carefully or there is a bad batch of cameras out there. I took this camera to the Galapagos Islands, the Amazon and the Andes for aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • High price

I LOVE this camera! I researched a lot about waterproof cameras and settled on this one. I also have a Canon Digital Elph which is smaller and I thought I'd use it more often because of the size... However, I ended up using the Lumix as my everyday camera because it's super fast, it takes great photos and because it does is complex, I don't have to worry that much if it falls off or spills, etc. Friends praise the photos, and when they use it, they praise how fast it is compared to their own.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!

  • Reliability

The image quality is below average for a Lumix.

It was a real disappointment. I ordered this camera with the high expectations I had of any Lumix camera I've bought in the past. I only had two points and shots (DMC-FX 7 and 9) but both were fantastic. Friends and family couldn't understand the superior image quality, above average video quality and overall form factor of my previous points and recordings. After nearly five years, the FX-9 LCD has decided to retire. I really did some research to find a new spot and shoot. After scouring allโ€ฆ

Great camera, always with you!

So far I am happy with the DMC-TS2. Like anyone who buys a waterproof camera, I decided to find out right away how durable it really is. I started with a beautiful sunset on Lake Ontario. I set the camera right on the rocks as the waves rolled in. My pants got a bit wet, the camera took some very good shots and survived to shoot another day! My next trip was rafting on the Salmon River. I attached the camera to my life jacket with a carabiner and grabbed the paddle. Image stability workedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons

Choose THIS!: Digital cameras

I gave my husband this camera for Christmas. I have a gun that he borrowed all the time and I was always afraid that he would either lose it or damage it. He is an athlete through and through, loves hunting and fishing and everything that goes with it. So I had to find something for him that would stand up to the elements and him, because he's not always that gentle. So far it's been great. I have this in orange so he can easily find it if he drops it in the field (unlike his phone) but theโ€ฆ

A good compact camera with a plus: the ability to shoot underwater!

I bought this camera mainly for travel, especially diving! I have an expensive Sony HD camcorder with an Aquatica body that I use for underwater photography and videography. However, it's very unsuitable for use out of the water unless the camera is removed from the hull, which you wouldn't want to do in a small and splashy boat. I also have a Canon S5 IS which I really like but I don't want to expose it to water, sand or bumps which is inevitable on the beach or on the boat. The LUMIX TS2 then

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Water leakage due to small cheap door seals

If you are looking for a waterproof camera, please do your research and understand the risks involved in purchasing this product! This is my second waterproof camera. , and after my first camera broke down while on vacation, I've become very careful with this camera. I recently took this camera on a snowy trip to Switzerland and had no problems with it. I was impressed with the quality of the video, although there was no autofocus and the focus was constantly changing. Came back from vacationโ€ฆ
