Digital camera for this summer? Try the Panasonic Lumix.

I am your typical busy mom and between working, soccer practice, pre-school, and potty training I have a lot of photo opportunities throughout my day! Like most parents, I love the idea of having my SLR with me at all times but, I think we all know this is just not practical and capturing my 4-year old’s class programs with my camera phone was not working either. I have been on the lookout for a really good multi use small digital camera for awhile now and I am proud to say that I have found just the camera…the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2. Why did I choose this camera you ask, let me tell you 
This is such a versatile little pocket camera, on top of having excellent picture quality indoors and out it also is waterproof, shockproof, freeze proof, and dustproof (translation KID proof). Now there are some limitations so I recommend checking out all of the specs on out site.
I love the idea that when we go to my brother’s lake home we can take the camera on the boat with us, use it on the beach, and even take it in the water to capture those really fun moments. I know that underwater cameras have been around for awhile but this one really stands out to me for a few reasons; Panasonic’s POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) Shake Detection is really in a league of its own. I have found that this feature is significantly improved over previous models and really helps to capture a great shot. Also, the large selection of scene modes are fun to play with and really allow you to get creative.OH and how could I forget…it has HD video recording! The HVCHD allows almost double the recording time in HD quality compared with the older Motion JPEG format. Do yourself a favor though and buy a mini HDMI cable so that you can watch your videos in HD connected directly to your TV.We have this camera available in Orange, Blue, and Yellow. Which color will you choose?

I love my new PANASONIC FZ35. Paige got it right that the Panasonic Lumix cameras are terrific for the money. I too carried around an SLR for years and wanted something more than a pocket camera. This Super Zoom model really did the job. 18X digital zoom, and the capability of adding filters. We do a lot of outdoor activities and a polarizer filter was my main reason for buying the Panasonic. So far it’s done great at bright ocean and snow covered landscapes. My friend, the rocket scientist, couldn’t even find any fault with wide shots bending lines. Buy a Pansonic, you won’t be disappointed.
