Panasonic DMC-TS2 FT2 HD Video Samples under water - Eddington Pond Maine

some high definition footage from the panasonic DMC-TS1 (FT1 in other countries)
I did this so other people could see how the video quality is during zoom and in bright light conditions. It also shows the waterproofing, and demonstrates the sound quality under water.

The DMC-TS1 is a water proof and shock proof camera, which makes taking it places worry free.
Definitely a cool camera, and the video it takes is 60fps (uploaded here at 30fps) and easily editable with Sony Vegas 9, instead of using the useless .mov quick time format.

Image stabilization is pretty good until the camera moves in for digital zoom (anything beyond 4.6x upto its max of 18x zoom)

how long have you had this, do you have any complaints about this camera?

how many different digital cameras have you own? i want to buy an under water camera but not sure which to buy. fry's sale clerk said canon d10 sucks, this is better. anybody please inputs.

@chinh101 my DMC-TS1 is a year old now, been in the ocean, lakes, pools, skiing, snow, out during rain storms, climbing a mountain, muddy from biking in the maine woods, sand from beaches... I bought it for the HD video which the competition doesn't have, and I was sick of the .mov quicktime format. I think the picture quality is much better than the olympus waterproof cameras - their lenses are smaller and have worse low light pictures.

@chinh101 It is awesome at concerts, no distortion compared to my kodak m1033 before this. You will have awesome videos with real optical image stabilization not the crappy digital stuff the flash camcorders today have. If you cannot afford the TS2, get a TS1 they are on sale everywhere and its the same camera -freezeproof (which mine never had issues with in Maine)

The title says TS2 but the description says TS1. Which is it?

What is the best underwater camera you can get??

[tincoster]

Thank you for this video, I am happy with the usefulness and image quality, I ordered one from amazon for $260 including all plus delivery.

[Guinepigsrock]

im looking for a panasonic camera do you think I should get this one or go with the fp3 i was going to get

[trixsam]

@MtnXfreeride It's not quite the same since the Ts1 you can submerge upto 3 meters while the Ts2 can go to 10.
