after years of building Toughbook computers, Panasonic has entered the
waterproof/shockproof/dustproof camera market with the 12.1-megapixel TS1, available in silver, green or orange in colour.
The camera has a terrific folding 28-128mm equivalent zoom, can do 720p high definition video, has a very bright and vibrant 2.7-inch LCD display that is large enough and can be seen from any angle, and excels in picture quality. Max depth is limited to 10 feet though and the TS1 is pricey.
Joining a growing number of manufacturers that offer waterproof and ruggedized compact cameras, Panasonic introduced the Lumix TS1 in early 2009.
The TS1 is a 12-megapixel compact that Panasonic bills as the world's first digital camera that is not only waterproof, shockproof and dustproof, but also capable of recording AVHCD Lite high definition video.
The TS1 therefore combines two very desirable features: being able to take the camera almost anywhere without fear of it getting harmed, and taking high definition movies to play back on HDTV flatscreens.
