About the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS5 (Lumix DMC-FT5)
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS5, marketed as the Lumix DMC-FT5 in some regions, appeared in January 2013 as a waterproof, rugged compact. Its 1/2.33-inch CMOS sensor delivers 16 megapixels, and the 4.6x optical zoom runs from 28 to 128 mm in 35mm terms at F3.3-5.9, a useful span for outdoor scenes from wide views to modest telephoto.
The body is chunkier than most pocket compacts at 110 x 67 x 29 mm and 214 g, reflecting its protective build, and the 3-inch monitor gives a comfortable view when composing. Power comes from the DMW-BCM13 battery, and storage is SD, SDHC or SDXC. Buyers drawn to adventure-oriented cameras will appreciate that the lens and sensor are matched to everyday outdoor snapshots rather than extreme reach, and that the body is built for rough handling around water.
Buying one used
Check that the DMW-BCM13 battery holds a charge, then inspect door seals and gaskets for wear or grit. Test an SD, SDHC or SDXC card, examine the lens window for scratches, and look for fogging inside the 3-inch screen.
