Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS30 Digital Camera (Black) with 16GB Accessory Bundle

My wife and I purchased this package as a Christmas present for our daughter. Her Sony camera was rather old and was about to "give up the ghost". Well, she began experimenting with this Panasonic Lumix on Christmas Day and was just as happy as one could be with all of the features that she continued to find. And, in using it since, she has discovered even more features and is extremely pleased with the quality and variety of the pictures. To say that she loves this camera is an understatement and, further, she loves all of the accessories that came with the Package. Since she is a Kindergarten teacher, this camera will get a great deal of use. Its probably one of the best gifts that she has ever received!

Went to Hawaii and played at snorkelling. This camera worked great. It also takes nice pictures on land. The two examples are from a trip to Hawaii and the Aulani Resort. The camera was easy to use and easy to take pictures with. Its great to have a waterproof camera for those times of being caught in the rain or just some snorkelling. The Rainbow Reef is a manmade reef, so the pictures are quite clear. Do not have any pics of ocean snorkelling (yet). Great little camera.

I wasnt sure what to expect from this camera given the not so great reviews I had read. A lot of people reported leaking and lens fogging but I have yet to have this problem. I have only used the camera in a swimming pool so I cant rate the performance in lakes or oceans, but it works very well in indoor pools. One thing I dont care for is the picture quality of indoor shots. The pictures are a little grainy and dark if there is not enough light. Of course this could be because I dont know much about all the different settings yet and still have much to learn! All of the extras that come with this bundle are awesome! I havent used the tripods or the floating strap but Im sure there is nothing wrong with them. All in all I am pleased with this purchase.

I have the wifi version of this camera which is awesome except that the wifi almost never works. I got this one for my daughter (age 11). Its waterproof (I take mine whitewater rafting, just clip it to my bathing suit top) and pretty tough. I asked the company what the difference between this one and mine was and they said just the wifi, but thats not true. They use different batteries. A shame because we have to have two sets of batteries and chargers. This camera is much lighter and slimmer than mine and I like it better because of that. Seriously, I can never get the wifi to work...I have managed to transfer photos wirelessly from my camera to my phone or computer maybe twice, despite reading the manual and online help and working for hours on it. So I would highly recommend this camera over the other. I think all the features are the same. The bundle is a weird collection of items, and the other bundles have different items, with some overlap. The extra battery and SD card are worth it and its nice to have a tripod and some of the rest.

I love this camera. All of the accessories were just a perk really. I used this camera seven days a row in the pool on vacation - and it was submerged in water for about five hours while I was snorkeling. I had the float strap installed - which was a lifesaver when I fell off my raft. I panicked for a moment because I didnt immediately see the floating strap as it had drifted into the reeds, but it definitely saved my tail instead of my camera sinking to the bottom of the inlet. The picture quality was great and I was able to fully zoom in on birds that were several hundred yards away and the pictures still turned out amazing.

I bought this camera to replace one that was lost on vacation. The photo quality is incredible, and I hope to never have to test the ruggedization of it, but am glad its there just in case. The accessories are all fully functional and work well with each other. Im glad I got both this camera and this accessory package all together.

Got a fantastic deal on a great camera! This is my second Lumix DMC - my first one took a dip in the lake and was done. This one says its waterproof, and it came with awesome extras. I did like the zoom option on my old Lumix a little better (you could zoom and shoot with the same hand) -- but because of the waterproof feature, it has no external knobs or buttons. My new Lumix takes great pictures and videos, came with 32 gig memory card, storage case, usb port to take pictures off camera directly to computer, and two tripods (both pretty little), a flotation handle, and a battery charger. Im really happy with it.

My wife is a photographer so the expectation was already high for a point and shoot. We figured it wouldnt be a big deal using a low cost camera like this for general underwater or outside pictures; its not like their going to be published. Let me tell you, this camera takes such horrible pictures that they were unusable. All were out of focus and/or grainy. All had a haze around any lit area in the picture. What we ended up doing was just switching to using our cell phones; its pictures were over the top better quality. The kit is a neat idea, and the items included were top notch (most accessories were Vivitar). The memory card was also good. But the camera was complete crap. When you read the reviews you will see that everyone has fog issues. Ours also appeared foggy but this wasnt actual fog on the lens; at least not on ours, its the sensors inability to process light. It simply puts a haze around anything well lit. I dont have pictures to upload for comparison but the quality was as low as my 10 year old clam-shell phone camera. Just terrible!!

I like the convenience of this camera- small, clear pictures, pretty and it came with all the accessories I need. I bought this to be used in our picnic by the lake. I really did not soak in the water... just some splashing... but then the pictures had some clouds. .. it had moist. .. I sure followed all instructions... after that I opened it and let all parts dry... I did not use it again on waters... anyway, I think I paid extra for a waterproof camera bec ordinary cam cost cheaper :( turns out. its not really waterproof :(
