Key Advantages

The Panasonic DMC-TS2's rugged body offers waterproof functionality up to 10 meters and shockproof protection from drops, providing durability for adventure and underwater photography. The Leica 4x optical zoom lens delivers sharp and clear images across a versatile zoom range. A 12.1 MP CCD sensor ensures quality image capture with good detail resolution. The camera supports 720p HD video recording, allowing users to capture high-definition videos. The inclusion of image stabilization helps reduce blur in photos and video, enhancing image clarity. Compact and lightweight, the DMC-TS2 is highly portable for travel and outdoor activities.

Limitations

The Panasonic DMC-TS2 uses a CCD sensor which may have lower low-light performance compared to more modern CMOS sensors. Its 2.7-inch LCD screen has relatively low resolution compared to current models, which can limit image review detail. The ISO range tops at ISO 3200, potentially limiting performance in very dark environments. Video recording is limited to 720p HD, which is lower resolution than full HD or 4K available on newer cameras. The fixed lens with moderate zoom range offers less flexibility compared to interchangeable lens cameras. The camera's processor and autofocus system may be slower compared to contemporary digital cameras.
