Which Rugged Camera Should You Get? (Switched)

Dec 2nd 2009 1:24AM At the highest resolution, the Panasonic DMC-TS1 can shoot a burst of 3 images in about 1 second, or a continuous shooting of approximately 1.3 frames per second until the memory card is full.

The Canon D10 shoots approximately 1.1 frames per second until the memory card is full.

However, in real life, the camera's overall responsiveness and ability to focus quickly may prove to be a vital part of the speed equation. I did notice that the Canon D10 sometimes struggles to focus under low light situations, so it may likely do the same in an underwater environment. I can't comment on the DMC-TS1 performance as I haven't used it extensively.

Which Rugged Camera Should You Get? (Switched)

Oct 20th 2009 10:22AM Evan,

I really appreciated your writeup, and it helped inform my decision regarding which rugged camera to get a friend earlier this year. I also happened to receive an identical question from one of my own readers this week, and I referred them to your blog (why reinvent the wheel?)

Personally, I prefer the Canon D10 because I find its ergonomics to be superior. For a user who's wearing skiing gloves or scuba gear, the Canon D10 offers a simpler, friendlier platform. The D10 also provides better waterproof rating (up to 32 feet). However, for a more casual user looking for something rugged but also pocketable, I would agree with you on the TS1 pick.
