After years of researching the existing UW P&S contenders, I kept waiting for perfection, and found it with the Lumix DMC-TS1. Besides the 12 MP, shockproof to 6 feet, waterproof to 10 feet, it has 2 things the others don't. First, a true 28 MM wide, with OIS and 4x zoom. But most importantly, it shoots 720p HD underwater! Nothing else does! After years of shooting UW stills, I realized that they all sucked because fish move! Capturing the motion of a school of tangs with HD video in a palm sized camera has been a joy for the last year. Now, they have followed up with the TS2, which can go down to 10 meters. Don't leave Panasonic off your radar ever again!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hawaii Tom]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2010 1:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What Underwater Point-and-Shoot Camera Should I Get?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/08/what-underwater-point-and-shoot-camera-should-i-get/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/08/what-underwater-point-and-shoot-camera-should-i-get/</guid><description><![CDATA[Don't buy the Panasonic. Leaks! In 6 months the price has gone from almost $400 to the low $200's. Panasonic knows they have an issue. Ceck out the weak reviews on Amazon and others. All leakers. Loed the camera for 6 months. Hate Pnasonic when they say tough luck. Not covered by warranty. Good luck. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ChefRuss]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 7th 2010 8:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What Underwater Point-and-Shoot Camera Should I Get?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/08/what-underwater-point-and-shoot-camera-should-i-get/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/08/what-underwater-point-and-shoot-camera-should-i-get/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hawaii Tom, <br>We heartily agree that the TS1 is feature-packed, but it didn't make our short list since it was limited to depths of 10 feet or less--we really wanted a unit that allowed for maximum flexibility and wasn't limited to pools and shallow snorkeling use. But we eagerly await the release of the TS2 (along with the Pentax Optio W90 as well) and our next vacation!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jon Chase]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2010 2:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What Underwater Point-and-Shoot Camera Should I Get?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/08/what-underwater-point-and-shoot-camera-should-i-get/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/08/what-underwater-point-and-shoot-camera-should-i-get/</guid><description><![CDATA[Understood, Jon, but the "scuba-depth" comment in your lede was very accurate. I let my certification lapse because in the last 30 years I have found that snorkeling and some free-diving got me to 98% of the really good pictures I wanted. 10 feet down is really a surprisingly long way when you try it, and your ears hurt if you're not used to it. I'd say the other strengths of the TS1 far outweigh the depth limitation, and as the TS2 is released, it will be a great time for bargains on the TS1.  I wouldn't want people to avoid what I believe is one of the best OVERALL contenders beause of a limitation that most will never come close to bumping up against.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hawaii Tom]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2010 3:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What Underwater Point-and-Shoot Camera Should I Get?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/08/what-underwater-point-and-shoot-camera-should-i-get/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/08/what-underwater-point-and-shoot-camera-should-i-get/</guid><description><![CDATA[I totally agree with your praise of the Canon D10.  I just ordered my second!! Yep, lost the first one overboard on a snorkel trip....Someone will probably find it with some of the best pictures I have ever taken...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ed Kelley]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2010 5:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What Underwater Point-and-Shoot Camera Should I Get?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/08/what-underwater-point-and-shoot-camera-should-i-get/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/08/what-underwater-point-and-shoot-camera-should-i-get/</guid><description><![CDATA[No matter what point and shoot you use you still can not compare to a SLR housed camera or even a Nikonos V.  I am a photographer, have shot underwater for years.  The first thing you loose as you go under is the hot colors, red, yellow, orange, within 15 ft they are almost gone unless the water is very clear and their is bright sun.  Any camera can leak, my suggestion is get a housed camera if you plan on shooting underwater a lot.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[George R.

If deep waterproof rating is what your reader needs, he should get a Hero camera. It's waterproof to 100 feet and can take photos automatically every few seconds.<br><br>You should also mention that the D10 can take sharp pictures, but not videos. If your reader needs to record videos while being rocked in a kayak or boat, he'll be extremely disappointed with D10.<br><br>Yes, Panasonic TS1 can't dive as deep. But the pictures are just as good as the Canon and the HD video are much better than the Canon. You can see what I'm talking about here :-<br><br><a href="http://www.waterproof-camera.org/videos-shot-using-panasonic-ts1-camera/" rel="nofollow">http://www.waterproof-camera.org/videos-shot-using-panasonic-ts1-camera/</a><br> ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Iskandar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 8th 2010 11:38PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
