Panasonic DMC-TSIG

The Panasonic DMC-TSIG digital camera is a 2009, 12.1 megapixel model in a unique green color. If you need a camera that is waterproof, shockproof and dust-proof, this model certainly will meet your needs. The camera boasts an ability of being waterproof to 10 feet, the dust-proof feature even defends against sand from the beach making this an excellent choice for beach side photography. The camera passed drop tests at a height of 5 feet making it an extremely tough little camera.

Motion images are recorded with 1280 x 720-pixel resolution while zooming in and out and using the AVCHD lite (MPEG-4/H.264) allowing the camera to achieve higher image quality and storing less data than the conventional Motion JPEG.

The iA mode or intelligent mode allows the photographer to aim and shoot while the camera does the rest automatically. It has the ability to automatically activate seven detection and correction functions which include:

• MEGA O.I.S. that helps prevent blurring due to shaky hands
• Detects faces with face recognition and captures them in clear focus with proper exposure

Other key features include:

• 28 mm wide-angle LUMIX lens with 4.6x optical zoom
• Retracting lens with folding optics used in the 4.6x zoom lens system that allows you to take shots from 28mm wide angle to 128 mm telephoto. This camera ability give you the flexibility for almost any kind of shooting situation "even underwater," where movements are likely to be restricted and the angle of view is especially important for capturing photos.
