Love this camera
This camera is great! Here's why I (filmmaker/parent)bought this one instead of others:
1. Wanted to shoot HD video anywhere, any time, without having to lug around my HVX.
2. Shoots on memory cards, unlike the Sony P.O.S. I bought that shoots HDV and if the camera breaks you're up a creek. If the camera croaks, at least I can get the footage/pics off of it.
3. I have kids, so I never know when I'm going to want to shoot it, and this camera is easily small enough to fit into a car...

Fantastic product
I went going on a Carribean cruise which was going to include snorkling and scuba in addition to lots of beach time. I wasn't planning to get a new camera but I saw that some new underwater cameras were coming out and thought I would check it out. Now, first of all, I am a huge Canon fan and probably would have bought their underwater camera (DC10 I believe), if it didn't look like a toy.
I didn't test the 3m theory by taking it scube but I did use it extensively on the beach and...

Almost perfect! Almost!
I bought this camera when there were no review on the internet, so I actually had a hard time to pick out what I wanted. I was comparing to Pentax / Fujifilm / Olympus models. First thing I've noticed, the LCD in the TS-1 isn't 3", but it's the most responsive in the dark, less lagging, and sharper than others. TS-1 is also the one that has 720p HD recording compare to others.
The camera dimension is probably the biggest one among all the models i've been looking around, and it's sur...

Great pocket camera (4.5 stars)
I have been using DSLRs for several years, and currently use the Canon 40D and a wide selection of lenses. I bought this camera as a pocket camera that is easy to take anywhere, and for its HD video capability, as I'm currently in Thailand for several weeks doing some geology research for my master's thesis, and it's impractical and annoying to lug around my big camera everywhere. Therefore my expectations may be different - I am not expecting perfect image quality, full manual controls, etc., b...

Great little camera, haven't tested the durable features yet.
I waited for a few months to pick one of these up, and the camera has been great. The HD video quality is fantastic, and the functions/features were well thought of. I like the stored face recognition, the scene modes, and the birthday storage which has the exact age of whoever you are photographing (mainly meant for animals, children...etc). I have not tried the underwater function yet, but the summer is almost here for me to test it out. The images are great, but really only with sufficient li...

Not a good everyday camera
I bought this camera after reading some good reviews about its image quality and HD video capabilities. I currently own a Canon Powershot G10 and a Canon 40D digital SLR and have been very happy with the great image quality of my Canon cameras. The thing I like about the Panasonic Lumix is that it takes very nice HD video both on land and in the swimming pool. The video motion is very smooth and the colors are very accurate. I also like the compact size of the camera and the very well design...

Fun and Enjoyable Little Camera
I've been using my DMC-TS1 for over a month now and am quite satisfied with its performance. Those who are real sticklers for image quality in this size-range should really be looking into either the LX3 or the G10, but those aren't waterproof, weatherproof, and shock resistant (which should make up a large part of the reason why you're considering this camera). I looked at sample shots from the other waterproof cameras from Pentax, Olympus, Fuji, and Canon. The only one that proves competiti...

Rugged Camera. Picture Quality Could Be Better.
I purchased this camera for my wife to keep in her purse so she can capture those "kodak moments" of the kids wherever they are especially during family vacations at the beach. Here are my brief pros and cons:
PROS:
> Water Resistant - Took decent pictures even when wet.
> Rugged - All orifices are sealed with gaskets.
> Manual Controls - User can customize settings to best fit their situation.
> Ergonomics - Lightweight and small. Can fit in shirt pocket or purse....

It was fun for the 10 days
I bought this camera for a vacation in Italy for 2 weeks, half expecting it to break at the beach. The first time I placed it in water I cringed, but the waterproofing appeared to work fine.
I took some fun photos at the beach and inside of fountains in Rome. About 3/4 of the way into the trip the screen flickered. I shut it off and when I turned it back on again it made a very bad grinding noise and said the battery can't be used. It never worked again.
I give it 3 sta...

Survived Australia's Great Barrier Reef
I purchased this camera for a snorkeling trip to Australia's Great Barrier Reef. To make a long story short, we were not disappointed. As somewhat of a film/slr/dslr junkie, I have quite an arsenal of equipment (Nikon D70, D90, D700, FM2). Besides this camera, I brought a point and shoot Canon SD1200, and a D70 on the trip.
- It's really nice that the strap cinches and locks around your wrist. Waterproof cameras usually do not float and the TS1 is no exception. If you let go of t...
