Panasonic Lumix Camera Review

Canon and Panasonic has announced their first shock and water-proof covenant camera early this year. If you are still confused which camera is best for you, here you will find some useful data and comparison in the middle of the Panasonic Lumix Dmc-Ts1 and Canon PowerShot D10.

Both the cameras are waterproof, but if you want a camera that can work around 10 meters underwater, then Powershot D10 would be your best shot. The submarine shaped D10 with its porthole-like screws and bulbous shell expresses that this digital camera is purely made for underwater. But on ground, you won't like its bulky form. D10 has easy-to-press buttons and a large Lcd screen where icons are big and nice, you still can see it quite clear even underwater. Additionally, it contains bigger screw-mouths on every angle for mounting the camera in assorted underwater grips.

While other waterproof digicam, Panasonic Lumix Dmc-Ts1 can be used up to 3 meters only underwater with a wholly separate approach. The sleek rectangular slab form has made it hard to distinguish from usual non-tough cams. Assess to Canon D10, the buttons are smaller and shooting modes can be superior by a thumb dial rather than a dedicated button. Even So, you will lose usability underwater with Ts1, it will accomplish good on land and you must consider that.

Another big distinction is that the Panasonic Ts1 shoots in the Avchd format at 720p, where D10 only does Vga videos of 640×480. But the video recording mode of Ts1 is not the most polished one, there is a two to three seconds of delay from hitting the dedicated video button to starting and stopping the video and its quite unclear when exactly all things does start. If you are ok with that delay, you will nothing else but love the excellent Hd video mode. Lumix Dmc-Ts1 is currently looking a big bug when importing the taken video into iMovie. The featured Avchd format of Ts1 is quite annoying and you might want installing particular codec to import video into your favorite video editing software and then convert it into friendly formats.

Both toughcams are featuring 12-megapixel shooting and have the same Ccd sensor size. But the Iso of Ts1 goes up to 6400 when it is only 1600 for D10. A distinction that nothing else but matters is the wider-angle lense of Ts1, which is an efficient focal distance zoom of 28mm-128mm f/3.3-f/5.9, where D10 is only 35mm-105mm f/2.8-f/4.9. Color fertilization straight through the Leica lens of Ts1 is far good than that of D10. Moreover, the Ts1 lean to autofocus underwater with greater ease in comparison with D10.

Just In Case you are not a expert scuba photo shooter, the benefits of toughcams can also be figured when you are production your kid's bath time photos without worrying about getting your camera wet or shooting with unclean hands while you are in the middle of a barbecue, or whatever like that. whatever happens, you will always can wipe your digital camera clean from water. So the windup is, if you care about form factor, you should go with Panasonic Lumix Ts1, Powershot D10 will be tough to fit it into a pants pocket without some serious bulging. But if you regularly go deeper than 3 meters underwater, you should go with Canon D10.
