About the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS30 (Lumix DMC-FT30)
The Lumix DMC-TS30, listed as the DMC-FT30 in other regions, dates from January 2015 and sits at the entry end of Panasonic's waterproof and rugged compacts. It uses a 1/2.33-type CCD sensor of about 16 megapixels behind a 25-100 mm lens in 35mm-equivalent terms.
The 4x optical zoom has an aperture of F3.9-5.7, which suits beach days, pool trips and rainy walks more than distant subjects or low light. The body measures 104 x 58 x 20 mm and weighs 142 g, thin enough to pocket easily. It has a 2.7-inch monitor and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a charger, and images are saved to SD, SDHC or SDXC cards. It is a simple camera for people who want something that can be splashed.
Buying one used
For a rugged camera, inspect the battery and card door seals for cracks, dirt or corrosion, and look for moisture behind the lens. Test the rechargeable battery with its charger, plus the SD slot.
