Panasonic Lumix TS4 12.1 TOUGH Waterproof Digital Camera with 4.6x Optical Zoom (Silver) Reviews
8 of 9 people found the following review helpful good pictures, some annoying features., By This review is from: Panasonic Lumix TS4 12.1 TOUGH Waterproof Digital Camera with 4.6x Optical Zoom (Blue) (Electronics) I used this on a kayak / snorkel trip in Belize, generally had good results, although I very much miss the optical view-finder that no-one seems to put on cameras any more, especially underwater. My pictures were generally good quality and I didn't have the leakage problem some users have had.The one genuinely annoying feature no-one else has mentioned that would keep me from recommending this camera: When you first turn it on, a screen comes up asking if you want to review the safety functions. You have to toggle to "no" then hit "enter" before it will let you take a picture. Even if you are quick, start-up takes close to fifteen seconds. Several quick moving rays and other fish disappeared before I could get the camera turned on, so I lost the pictures. There doesn't seem to be any way to turn that reminder off. If you hit "yes" it just tells you to read the manual! Stupid, stupid, stupid. A more minor annoyance: the movie button is right next to the shutter...

Coyle's "review" of 31 March 2012, which correctly states that it is impossible for the reviewer, "Geoff S," who gave "one star" to this camera, Lumix TS4, in his review of 30 March 2012, to have used it for over a year, when the item is a NEW camera, recently available for sale! Thus, I am "adding" to Mr. Coyle's review by giving still another 5-star rating to this camera, in order to "balance the review." In my opinion, the Lumix TS3 is one of the better point-and-shoot, durable, waterproof cameras available. Thus, it is highly unlikely that the newer version, the upcoming (and yet to be released) TS4, merits a "one star" rating. Perhaps, shoppers who see this "averaged," but fabricated rating, will not be deterred from considering the Lumix DMC-TS4 in their future purchasing decision. It is my experience, that Panasonic makes quality equipment, and it is patently unfair (and inaccurate) for this fine company and their products to be disparaged without good... Read more 3 of 8 people found the following review helpful Had It For A Year?, By This review is from: Panasonic Lumix TS4 12.1 TOUGH Waterproof Digital Camera with 4.6x Optical Zoom (Silver) (Electronics) It would be nice if people would review items that they actually own. Since this model is new, there is no way to have been using it for a year. I have not purchased the item (yet) but felt compelled to give it 5 stars to offset the other unjustified review. |
