Panasonic TS30 Overview

Comprising the essentials needed to begin shooting, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS30 Digital Camera with Accessory Kit from B&H bundles the tough point-and-shoot with a memory card and a protective camera pouch.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS30 Digital Camera (Blue)

The blue Lumix DMC-TS30 Digital Camera from Panasonic is a compact "tough" camera that can shoot photos and HD video in extremely cold temperatures underwater or on dry land. The TS30 is dust, freeze, shock, and waterproof. Its 16.1MP CCD sensor provides clear, well-defined images even in low light and a Lumix DC Vario lens offers focal lengths from wide-angle to telephoto at 25-100mm in 35mm format. An 8x Intelligent Zoom function offers even longer digital zoom reach when needed. 23-Area Autofocus and Quick AF combine to provide fast and accurate autofocus.

The camera can shoot HD 720p video and has a dedicated one-touch video button. Shooting a still photo while shooting video is supported and MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization) compensates for camera shake in photo and video, offering clear images in low light or when shooting at telephoto lengths. Intelligent Auto Mode is available for point and shoot capability with all assistive features engaged and Scene Mode provides predefined settings to shoot certain types of scenes (Sunset, Starry Sky, Night Scenery, etc.) with the ideal camera adjustments. The camera can also shoot up to eight frames per second in High-Speed Burst Mode, shoot time-lapse images, and offers Creative Control Mode in both standard and panorama dimensions so you can add specialized effects to your photos. The 2.7" TFT LCD screen with 230k-dot resolution provides composition and playback viewing.

The "tough" features of the TS30 allow you to take it underwater to depths of 26'. It is also shockproof from a drop height of 5', freezeproof to a temperature of 14°F, as well as sand and dustproof. When dirty, the camera can be easily washed off with water. The TS30 features Advanced Underwater Mode which compensates for the red colors often lost when shooting underwater to provide more natural-looking underwater images. The camera also contains a continuous torch light when shooting video underwater or at night or it can be simply used as a flashlight when you are not shooting.

Creative Control / Creative Retouch
Creative Control in recording mode and Creative Retouch in playback mode give you the power to turn ordinary situations into highly expressive images. Creative Effects include Expressive, Retro, High Key, Low Key, Sepia, Dynamic Monochrome, Impressive Art, High Dynamic, Cross Process, Toy Effect, Miniature Effect, and One Point Color.
Creative Panorama
With the Creative Panorama function, you can shoot and overlay consecutive horizontal and vertical images and then add filter effects with Creative Controls.
Underwater Shots
The red color reproduction of Advanced Underwater Mode compensates for the red tones lost in underwater shooting to create more natural underwater images. Additional action modes include Sports, Snow, Beach, and Snorkeling.
MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer)
MEGA O.I.S. automatically compensates for blurring caused by hand-shake. Even slight hand-shake movements are detected instantly by a sampling frequency of 4,000 times per second to produce sharp, clear images.
MP4 HD Video Recording
Recording dynamic MP4 HD video in 1280 x 720p starts with the simple push of an independent motion picture button, so you can switch from video to photo shooting and back again instantly.
Time-Lapse Shooting
Position the camera to record stationary observation for flowers coming into bloom, scudding clouds, and other subjects. A series of successive images can be combined in-camera to produce time-lapse video.
Torch Light
A built-in torch light helps you record videos in dusky underwater environments or low-light situations. When camera functions are inactive, you can turn the light on to illuminate subjects.
220MB Built-In Memory
When the camera's SD card is full, built-in memory automatically provides 220MB of additional storage, enough for up to 34 images.

Panasonic TS30 Reviews

mehh...just mehhh

Perfect for when you want to ditch your camera and rock some 10+ year old technology. Unfortuneatley, the picture quality can't compare with a modern phone with even a mediocre camera. It's water/dust resistant but probably not something to take to the beach. Maybe lounging pool side or perhaps a hike. The buttons a a little flimsy too. Even back in 2015 I would have been disappointed in the buttons.

maybe water resistant better than proof

This is the second DMC-TS30 I have bought. first one started leaking and so now I will not call it water proof, just resistant, so I don't have to get a third. I do love the camera though, the pictures come out nice, and it is easy to use. Fits in a shirt pocket as well.

question

I'm suspicious: the narrative on the overview says It's shockproof from a drop height of 5' yet the specs don't mention this, only that it's waterproof not shockproof. Can someone confirm the shockproof quality of this camera?
Asked by: Theresa P.
Here is a copy/paste from Panasonic's web site on the TS30: Travel Confidently with go Anywhere Freeze Proof (14 Degrees), shock (4.9 Ft), and Waterproof (26 Ft) Toughness. They claim it is shock proof to 4.9'

question

What is in the box?
Asked by: Pamela York
If I recall the only extra thing you will need to provide that is not in the box is a memory card. I bought it on a holiday sale a year ago so one may have been included as a special deal. I did buy an extra battery and a wrist float strap as extra accessories but no case as it was bought as gift for a backpacking / outdoorsy relative.
