Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS10 Review
By Josh Fate
Review posted 11/01/2010
One of the latest rugged cameras in Panasonic's outdoors lineup, the 14-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS10 builds off the success of past models, like the Lumix DMC-TS1 and DMC-TS2. We were surprised to see that this new "Lifeproof" model offers less ruggedness than its predecessor, the TS2. The waterproof rating has from to 10 feet (3 meters) from 33 feet (10 meters), while the shockproof rating has fallen to 5 feet (1.5 meters) from 10 feet (3 meters). The TS10 remains dustproof and freezeproof (up to 14 degrees Fahrenheit).
