Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS30 Digital Camera (Red)
UPC's:
Easy to use
The TS30 is easy to use and creates sharp bright pictures. I was able to take close up's of ants in a rotting tree. This was a pleasant surprise in such a low priced camera. It's portability means that I have a camera on my belt and ready at any time. No more lament about the missed shot or worry about the camera getting wet. Everyone needs this Lumix.

For sure would get another if I lost it .
Still have film cameras but with digital and electronics I felt I was missing bad weather pics . Or somedays just lazy and did not want to carry a camera. So the waterproof cam is perfect for Oregon. It does a good job and has nice features built in fro being creative. It is small and very solid feeling and has a nice finish. About the size or smaller than most smartphones.

Good camera for snorkeling
Got this camera based on reviews on this site. Worked great for snorkeling. Couldn't see exactly what I was shooting, may have been my mask my eyesight, the water in front of me, who knows? But the photos came out great. Haven't printed them out yet. No leaks, easy to use in water and out. Zoom works good. Recommend it for underwater use.

Great features
I take a lot of snapshots of my kids, the Lumix is the best way to go, don't worry about dropping it or getting it wet, plus being small and slender, it is easy to slip in and out of a pocket and shoot with one hand. I leave it on auto mode and for the price it takes great pictures, the battery will last through a weekend adventure.

Sending mine back.
Maybe I got a lemon. But, it flunked two sea trials. I tried it with two SD Cards. But after about 10 minutes in the ocean the camera locked up and I had to pop the battery to get it going again. I was just doing surface snorkeling. Have not decided if I am going to re-order the TS-30. Need something for a trip to Samoa next week.

Nice Uncomplicated Point-and-Shoot
I bought this about a month ago and took it on a trip to Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion N. P. It is handy (fits in shirt pocket), simple to use, and has a pretty fair zoom feature. I found that the battery tended to run down sooner than I thought it might, but it charged up quickly. All in all, hard to beat at the price.

meh
I was a great disappointment when you dont have any good quality pictures of your vacation. We saw many people using GoPro or simple plastic bags for their phones, while we were figuring out how to use it and why it stays bad quality. We've read the instructions but this camera is just useless for underwater pictures.

Slow. Hard to see on the screen.
We are spoiled by the phone cameras. I wanted a rugged camera that would have a wide angle and a strong flash. It seems as all these things are done better on a phone. Got a large card for it and will be using it without worrying that I might lose all my contacts, in the rain and all.

Poor image quality
This is my second Lumix point and shoot. So far my results have been less than stellar. Many of images are out of focus. With this kind of small camera I often palm it to get a quick photo while passing something.. It needs to focus fast and apparently that's not a bit of an issue.

Very poor picture quality
Pros: - inexpensive - small, lightweight (maybe the smallest waterproof camera) - seems rugged, well made Cons: - terrible picture quality (often overexposed) on par with iPhone 3 I'll be selling mine and finding something better. Why take bother taking bad photos?

Great camera
I used this camera for 1 week in the Bahamas. For $140 it gave me a lot of joy and fun. It takes really good pictures underwater and normally. I used it in the pool and in the sea. Max. 10 ft underwater. It worked amazingly! I highly recommend buying this camera.

This camera has been a great addition to my videography and photography setup. The ability to use it in all weather conditions brings an added shot for me to capture moments in all situations. It takes great photos with easy of operation.

Neat little package
I have not used it yet but so far it seems to be all good. I put a 64 card in for extra menory. It meshes with my Mac Book either by memory card or cord. Goes directly into iPhoto. With the hand grip it should be easy to use under water.

Do not buy
I bought this for my daughters first trip to the beach. Picture quality is horrible. I am an avid photographer. Focus is slow, can not handle sun glare. Missed capturing memorable moments. Will be selling at the next garage sale for $

Great underwater camera!
I purchased this camera to take with me on my cruise. I used the camera underwater when swimming with sharks and stingrays in Tahiti. The pics of the sharks and stingrays were so clear and vivid! I am very happy with this purchase.

Leaked water on 1st beach use
Leaked water on first beach use despite following directions and keeping battery door locked etc. I ordered it a while before our vacation so I could get to know the controls...which means I'm now past the 30-day return period.

Good enough
Took decent pictures, screen is a bit fuzzy, pictures stored in a poorly compressed format that takes about ten times the space on the chip that is taken by my Cannon G12. The ruggedness and small size is a definite plus.

Perfect wet camera
We bought 2 of these for a trip to the Galapagos Islands. They performed exactly as we had hoped. We didn't have to worry about them getting wet in the kayak, and they took some excellent underwater pics white snorkeling.

so far so good
I love the fact that I can use it in the pool and the beach and that it has instructions within the phone that pop up to remind me how not to ruin it. The pics have come out great both at the beach and in the pool

Excellent camera! I am not an expert but the camera served my needs well and helped me capture the beautiful moments of my trip. It was durable but not too unwieldy or heavy. Held battery pretty well. Thank you!

Good Review.
Small, efficient, stable and good focus. Menus are user friendly and concise. Fits the hand well. Very good camera quality. Very good photo quality. Relatively easy to set-up and use from the word go.

Great Camera for the Price
We use this camera to take hundreds of pictures a day to post on facebook for our business. Easy to use and easy to charge and upload photos. Would buy it again if we need another one.

Screen quality is below average. Close up shots are good. Flash is very weak. Lots of noise in low light. Too scared to try underwater. Cheap price makes this affordable.
