The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-TS2 digital camera is not only waterproof to 33 feet (10m), but it’s also shockproof to approximately 6.56 feet (2m), freezeproof to 14° F (-10° C) and dustproof. This rugged digital camera will be offered in silver, blue, orange and yellow, but it’s not clear yet when and how much it will cost. Highlights: Sonic Speed AF (Auto Focus), Intelligent Resolution, Venus Engine HD II, 6x Intelligent Zoom, 4.6x optical zoom, a 2.7-inch, and 230,000-dot Intelligent LCD. And last but not least, the LUMIX DMC-TS2 can record HD video in Motion JPEG and AVCHD Lite format.

“The new LUMIX TS2 gets tougher and we expect it to be a key product in 2010, as its rugged features are becoming even more desirable for active users, especially with this year’s new freezeproof capabilities. Families will enjoy this digital camera, both for their own outdoor activities, vacations, but also so they can allow children to take photos without the anxiety they might otherwise feel of damage.”
