Panasonic FT3 Review: Overview

iAuto shooting mode is accurate and easy ; Dedicated Video Capture Button is always ready to record ; AVCHD Lite HD video capture is high quality and small files ; Tough" features: Waterproof, Dustproof, Shockproof and Freezeproof ; Excellent Image...

Struggles a little with high contrast outdoor scenes ; Image noise in low-light, shadow areas ; Screen can be hard to see underwater

If you need a camera that can keep up with even the craziest of lifestyles, the Panasonic Lumix TS3 is for you. This "tough"camera can handle anything you throw at it. Sporting a 12-Megapixel imaging sensor, Leica zoom lens, iAuto mode and full 1080p...

Rugged build, rammed full of the latest must have features, reasonably priced (if at the higher end of the price spectrum compared with a non toughened snapper), easy to use, good results with the minimum of fuss, built in GPS, 3D mode, Full HD clips

Priced at a slight premium, operational buttons too small and fiddly to be operated with gloves on or with wet fingers

You might want a compact camera with a longer lens reach for your holidays - the so-called “travel zoom” of which Panasonic’s new Lumix DMC-TZ20 is a good alternative example - but the added toughened qualities of the FT3 are sure to be a draw for...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT3 is priced at a market operating price of Rs. 27,200. This is on the pricier side of point of shoot cameras. Though it has some amazing features and delivered on all performance fronts, the price is a bit of a let down....

GPS is responsive ; Tough, rugged chassis can withstand most situations ; Easy to use

Image and video quality falters in less than optimal light ; Not crushproof

Like all tough and waterproof cameras the FT3 has its downsides, but it's one of the best models you can buy. Primarily, the decision will come down to image quality — the FT3 is good, but not great at taking photos. The Sony TX10 edges it out slightly...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 is a fast-shooting, easy-to-use rugged compact camera with excellent features to justify its high price.

The TS3's photos and movies look soft.

GPS and fast shooting performance make the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 a worthy rugged point-and-shoot even if its photos and videos aren't the sharpest.
