About the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 (Lumix DMC-FT3)
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 (Lumix DMC-FT3) is a waterproof, rugged compact released in January 2011. It uses a 1/2.33-inch CCD sensor of about 12 megapixels and a 4.6x optical zoom covering 28-128 mm at F3.3-5.9.
At 103 x 64 x 27 mm and 197 g, it is thicker and heavier than the slim compacts of the same year, which fits a body designed for outdoor use. The 28 mm wide end suits landscapes and group photos, while 128 mm gives moderate reach. A 2.7-inch monitor is used for framing and review, and images are saved to SD, SDHC or SDXC cards. This is a camera for trips to the beach, the trail or the ski slope, where durability matters more than being as light as possible in a pocket.
Buying one used
This rugged model uses a dedicated lithium-ion battery. Inspect the seals around the battery and card door, look for scratches on the lens front and the 2.7-inch screen, and test an SD, SDHC or SDXC card.
