Review on πŸ“· Waterproof Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2 Digital Camera - 14.1 MP, 4.6x Optical Zoom, Image Stabilization, 2.7-Inch LCD (Blue) by John Stefko

Revainrating 4 out of 5

They sent me the wrong camera, but now it better not be the right one. And these cameras are also very good.

OK. I am giving this 3 stars ONLY because it was NOT the product I originally purchased. If they don't have the product you're paying for, it seems they just send you the next step instead. And that's what prompted me to buy a completely different underwater box so I can safely dive to great depths. This was fixed and the seller refunded me the difference and in fact the camera I bought is even better. So I would consider it a win-win. Other than that, these TS2 models are great! I had one before and took it on several dive trips around the world before accidentally dying on shore. Image quality isn't nearly as stunning as my Canon Powershot G models, but they're durable enough to take anywhere and not have to worry about rain, boat or sand. I just want the color and clarity of the images to be a little better. But I know it's hard to compete with Canon, Fuji or Sony in this area! The model that was actually sent to me when I bought this product was the Lumix TS-5 model. And while this has compelled me to make another big purchase to have a dive box, I can honestly say that the TS-5 is actually a huge step up from the original! There's an advanced underwater feature that adds a small red filter to improve color accuracy underwater, and there's a handheld night shot setting and a slow shutter speed (15 or 30 seconds) that's great for low-light shots. I noticed that the lighting captures better. Oh, and it has Wi-Fi so you can send pictures to your phone if you want to send pictures to someone or post them online when you're out of range of your computer. That's it. Although I was VERY unhappy with the purchase, on this last dive I realized I ended up with a better camera.

Pros
  • Sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Legacy model
