The camera body is waterproof to 3m. It's dustproof too, so you don't have to worry about dust or sand getting inside. And it has passed drop tests at a height of about 1.5m. This is one tough little camera that you can take wherever action takes you. The TS1 records HD motion images with 1280 x 720-pixel resolution. It uses the AVCHD (MPEG-4/H.264) format, via AVCHD Lite which stores less data than other formats and thus lets you shoot more minutes of HD motion images before running out of memory. Just set the camera to iA mode, aim and shoot. The camera does the rest for you. It automatically sets the optimal mode for the shooting situation, and helps correct blurring, focus, and brightness problems. It also activates the Face Recognition function, which finds familiar faces in a group of people and captures them in a clear focus and with proper exposure. A retracting lens with folding optics is used in this 4.6x zoom lens system, which lets you take shots from the 28mm wide-angle to 129mm telephoto. This gives you the flexibility for virtually any shooting situation - even underwater shots, where the angle of view is naturally narrowed, or when you just want to fill the frame with your subject.

So Far So Good

"Just got this camera a few weeks ago. I use for outdoor adventure photography, (whitewater Kayaking, Mt. Biking, climbing). So far this camera is great! I just put it in my life jacket pocket while I'm on the river and it gets wet all day long. I pull it out to take photos and movies and get great quality with 12.0 mp and HD Movies, even underwater the clartity is crystal clear. The camera weighs a bit more t..." Read Full Review »

"I did a lot of research before deciding on the TS1. My choice came down to replacing a camera of a different brand that had been misplaced or the TS1. The waterproof and shockproof features influenced my choice after reading reviews. The TS1 is easy to use once you learn the controls. The manual was somewhat of a challenge once the TS1 was set up. One example is recording in movie mode. The manual index do..." Read Full Review »
