Don't buy this camera
I bought this camera general use and occasional swimming pool use. We had it a year and took it to Hawaii. It leaked and ruined our vacation pictures. Leakage was not the user fault either. I was very careful about getting a good seal around the access hatches. Do not buy this camera if you plan to get it wet. Does not work as advertised.

not really waterproof
I purshased a DMC-TS1 in december 2009, wishing to film snorkelling adventures in thailand.
After a few minutes in the water, a message warned my that the memory card was corrupted. I turned the camera off, dried it on the outside, then realised water leaked through the gasket.
The camera was dead, so was my hopes of bringing pictures back from my trip.
I sent back the camera and got a DMC-TS2 in return, thanks panasonic, that is great, a new model, more features, more pixels, more waterproof capabilities.
Moving to a new diving holiday, I was very glad to try my new camera underwater. I packed everything in the hotel, the camera was shiny new, there couldn't possibly be any sand (no sand where I was) and no hairs (I'm bald) obstruing the gaskets.
after a few minutes between surface and 8 meters deep, 40 pictures and 2 minutes video, I had about the same message "data cannot be written on memory card" went out of the water, dried everything, and again, a wet memory card and a totally dead camera.
The guarantee period was covered by the initial purshase, witch will sadly end before my return.
The camera is really great in features, the videos are really high quality, the scenes mode incredibly efficients, but I cannot believe this product has really been tested to work under water, it was totally new, I didn't dive too deep (I have a dive computer) and was very carefull using it, but it miserably failed a 5 minutes dive.
So all I can do is enjoying my trip in Egypt, take bad pictures with my iPhone, and regret I didn't double the price spent on that camera to buy a case.
I hope I will not get censored, I do not mean to be insulting against Panasonic, but I think people should know this product must be labelled as water resistant, not waterproof, it cannot take the pressure at 10 meters, not even at 5.

I am a professional photographer who is seriously considering switching to the Lumix mirrorless cameras.
