Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS10 Rugged Camera Review and Best Prices

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS10 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS10 also known as FT3 in Europe. The TS10 is a rugged compact digital camera made by Panasonic and has been released in October 2010. Featuring the flat and slim profile adopting the folded optics for its 4x optical zoom lens unit, the new 14.1-megapixel FT10 features credible toughness to be waterproof to 3m, shockproof to 1.5m, freeze-proof to -10 degrees C and dustproof. In addition, the MEGA O.I.S. can help you to get an image with less blur and sharper details.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS10 is similar to the TS2 because it’s a rugged camera, designed for extreme conditions. It’s waterproof up to 10 feet, shockproof to 5 feet, dustproof and freezeproof to 14 F. In addition, this camera has silicone jacket so it’s resistant to scratches as well. Although it doesn’t provide same amount of protection as TS2 it will still provide decent protection from shocks, dust and water – yet, its still very slim and just looks very much like a normal point and shoot.
