Lumix Camera Review,
Purchased this camera after a lot of research on durable small camera’s for my husband. I was looking for a camera that took quality digital pictures of things standing still, moving objects/animals, and a camera that took quick pictures to get those moving objects. I purchased the 32GB SDHC digital card for use, which was a little overkill, but it can hold over 4,000 pic’s using the 16MB quality.
Decision Points
– Quality Pic’s – from color to contrast is awesome.
– Shutter Speed allowed me to get great pic’s of objects moving clearly…to include a Tomahawk being thrown.
– Easy to use, hooked right up to my MAC
– Zoom for what I want to use it for is good, I will give up distance for the quality of pic’s. (I would NOT recommend this camera if you are taking pic’s of your child’s soccer game and they are across the field, quality will be good but it won’t be a closeup picture.)
– Battery Power – I did not put the battery on a time; however, after a few days of taking pic’s on and off through out the day I had to recharge the battery. I plan on purchasing an additional battery.
– I have NOT tested the waterproofing, I am sure my husband will drop it in the water soon enough to give a review on the waterproofing. (Rated at 16Ft for 60min)
– The camera is also rated at 5Ft for Anti-Shock Performance (again another good thing with my husband)
– The camera is also rated at a temperature between 14deg F to 104deg F. This camera will be used anywhere from Alaska to Afghanistan so temperature variations was also a factor in our purchase of the Lumix.
– It is a small camera that can easily fit in a hunting pocket out in the woods or in a combat vest pouch when deployed.
Overall we are very happy with our decision to purchase the Lumix, it does everything we need it to do for our active lifestyle.

|Nice travel camera!,
I bought the Panasonic TS20 digital camera for my trip and was very pleased! The camera is made of mostly metal and feels very solid and durable. It is very compact and fits in my pocket without a problem, a big plus+ for traveling and wanting to avoid carrying a big camera. Also, having this camera made me feel more comfortable about not scratching or damaging it because it is made to be handled without the ‘white glove’ treatment. I’ll get to the main point of having this camera; it does take really nice pictures — outdoors / indoor and with good light. Night time pictures can be a bit tricky and you will have to play with the scene settings. Just like MOST small compact cameras, their strong points are NOT taking pictures in low-light situations. Don’t forget, this camera is waterproof and can take picture / video under water. I haven’t tried this feature, yet. Will this camera replace a DSLR or micro 4/3 camera? Not quite. It will be a great in taking quick snapshots when you want to go out and not worry about carrying an expensive camera/equipment. For example, going out for dinner with your wife/husband and/or friends…. IMHO you really don’t want to be carrying any big camera ( I have a micro 4/3 camera and I think it is sometimes a bit big to carry in certain situations). Did I mention that it fits easily in your pocket? If you are looking for professional photos, this will not meet your needs. If you are looking for a rugged, all-around fun, waterproof and durable camera that takes great pictures, the Panasonic TS20 will fit your needs… especially at a reasonable price. Highly recommended!

|Fantastic Camera, in and out of Water,
I have had this camera for about a month and I absolutely love it. I wanted a waterproof camera so I wouldn’t have to worry about ruining it in rain, snow, dirt, or anything else I throw at it.
Here are some my favorite things about this camera:
-It has a really fast shutter speed so it captures subjects in motion without blur.
-It has a burst function that takes lots of pictures in a row, and so far they have come out incredible. I recently went cliff jumping and got some really good progressive shots of people falling in the air.
-The camera has really good speakers when playing back video.
-Picture quality is fantastic for a point and shoot, both inside and out. Some pictures taken in darker rooms turn out grainy, but that has happened with all my other cameras in the past.
-The wrist strap is adjustable so it can be securely fit to your wrist while in the water.
-The interface is really quick and easy to use.
-The camera turns on incredibly fast so it’s good for spur of the moment photo-ops.
-You don’t have to change settings between photo and video, you just push a different button for video to start recording. This is really nice because on my previous camera I often forgot to switch it back to photo mode and would take videos instead of pictres.
All in all I love this camera. I don’t have any complaints about it yet and I would definitely recommend it! I would also recommend buying a spare battery. The charge holds pretty well but if you are using it a lot in a day it’s better to be safe and have a spare just in case. Wouldn’t want to miss any great opportunities for a picture!
TO ADD ON:
I recently had my camera at the beach and someone dropped it in the sand. All the cracks had sand in them, so I was a little worried. I just filled my sink with water and sat the camera in in for about 10 minutes, and all the sand just fell off. It’s like nothing even happened! I was so happy since my previous camera was ruined by sand.
