PhotoReview
1 May 20119.0/10Panasonic's latest waterproof camera adds a GPS antenna, Full HD video and a LED light to improve video quality when shooting in low-light and under water. Panasonic's DMC-FT3 represents the third generation of a line that began in with the FT1, which set the benchmark for rugged, waterproof cameras. The lens hasn't changed since the first model; nor has the LCD monitor. Read more
- You're looking for a slimline camera for snorkelling and shallow diving that can record HD video clips and good-looking still shots., You want good wide-angle coverage...
- You require PASM shooting modes., You want to shoot raw files (the FT3 can't)., You want high burst capacity at high resolution., You prefer using a viewfinder.

"Ok but not that impressed"
4.0/10Reviewer: JeremyM1, CNET6 May 2011I haven't used it under water yet but took it on a climbing trip in Kentucky. I was not really impressed with the picture quality. Lighting needs to be perfect to get pretty pictures. I had an Olympus Tough before this and bought my Lumix in hopes that the picture quality would be better. Unfortunately they take pictures about the same... At least the Olympus has a lens cover. I'm nervous about scratching my Lumix. Read more
- Specs say it's rugged
- Hard to get a perfect picture due to image quality
