Don't have to worry that it will get wet

I got this to take out kayaking. Waterproof and small makes it easier on the water.

Good Tough Outdoor Camera

I will use this camera in outdoor shots in messy situations where a regular camera might not hold up.

Gift recipient LOVES it.

I gave this as a gift because I have a previous model and have been very happy with it. Sometimes I am amazed at the quality of the photos I get. The recipient loves this newer model. She took burst-mode photos in a low light room without the flash and got entirely acceptable photos.

Shockdustwaterproof

I hope its really waterproof and shockproof, didn't test yet. Otherwise I wouldn't buy it, because picture quality is not the best, but this camera is for adventure, so not the biggest demands for stabilized image.

Great 1080p video in the water

This is my second waterproof camera. I've mostly shot videos with it from my Sea-Doo and of the Sea-Doo from in the water. It's great to be able to zoom while shooting the video. A tip for consistent color in videos in daylight conditions: Instead of Auto, set the ASA is to 100 & White Balance to Daylight. Also, it has tons of settings and the controls are convoluted, so practice (alot) before you head out to your water, snow or other adventure. I've posted on VIMEO[dot]com/25954163

For Geotagging Be Careful!

This is a very nice camera, BUT the main reason I bought it was its geotagging capability. Frustratingly all the necessary information shows up in the camera, but only Lat. and Longitude data are stored as metadata, NOT country, State, City, etc.

By Dusty

I use this for paranormal work in the dark and it takes quick pics in low light also it is waterproof so I can use it on cruises that i go on every year.

This LCD provides sharp, clear images in virtually all shooting situations, ranging from nighttime to bright daylight scenes and from low-angle to high-angle shooting. And it lets you share the fun of viewing images with family and friends.

The DMC-TS3 offers versatile ways of recording memories not only in beautiful photo but also in high quality movie with ultimate ease of operation in virtually all shooting situations.

The DMC-TS3 also features Intelligent Resolution technology. Rather than uniformly enhanced sharpness, Intelligent Resolution precisely optimizes signal processing to give the entire image outstandingly natural clarity and fine detail. As a result, images are naturally clear and crisp in movies as well as in photos.
