New Panasonic Waterproof Shooter

Panasonic jumps into the waterproof/shockproof point and shoot fray.

Nearly
every aspect of the TS1 was designed with rugged use in mind: the
airtight shell, reinforced with rubber padding, glass and carbon resin
is purported to protect the camera during underwater use at depths of
up to ten feet and falls onto a hard surface from five.

Now for
the spec pile: the TS1 shoots stills at 12.1 megapixels and video at
1080p. effective lens length is an ample 28mm-128mm, the aperture opens
to a 3.3-5.9 maximum size, ISO notches all the way up to 6400 and the
maximum shutter speed is 1/1300. A 2.7-inch, 230,000-dot LCD adorns the
back of the slim(ish) 3.87 x 2.49 x 0.91 body, and the standard facial
recognition, image stabilization and creative mode features are all
present.

Available in April -  Suggested Retail $400

I hope it works better than my olympus that's supposed to be waterproof. I have the regular Lumix and love it. I'll definitly get the waterproof version and 12 mega pixels and 720p video. Wow! Thanks for the heads up.
