Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1

Ooh, Lumix is coming up with something new again... the DMC-TS1!

What it boosts is that it is "The World’s First Waterproof, Shockproof, Dustproof Camera AVCHD Lite Motion Image Recording" --- from http://www.dpreview.com/ .

Not bad if you want a compact cam that you can carry round the clock 24hours, and rough use (hmm, like u tend to drop stuff, knock against the wall, etc).

But I still tend to be more picky at IQ (image quality). The sensor is the typical small one (1/2.33" CCD), and the cam is at 12 mega pixels... small sensor, high mega pix... noise level (graininess of the image) will tend to be high I guess?... and this is so especially at night. Nevertheless, it claims that with the Venus Engine HD, noise is reduced... but it's a matter of the extent of reduction... and your personal expectations~

Oh, cam starts up quickly in 1.3 seconds, this is useful if you're walking along the streets, spotted something suddenly and you wanna shoot it.

Nevertheless, you gota try and test on the real thing to really know if it suits you. ;)
