Panasonic DC-TS7D Lumix TS7 Waterproof Tough Camera, 20.4 Megapixels, 4.6X Zoom Lens, USA, with 3" LCD, Orange

Beat camera on the market haven’t used it in the water yet ( which is why I bought it for a job) but I can’t already tell after buying 3 cheap 70$-100$ cameras then the go pro 8 which was $250 and also couldn’t handle the water I can’t wait to try this tough nice looking great picture quality camera out in the water

I purchased this cpamera (Panasonic DC-TS7) back in mid January anticipating a trip to Hawaii. The camera worked beautifully and I did get some great reef pictures on day 1. After carefully cleaning the camera and setting up for the next day's adventure I tried to turn in back on but to no avail. I did follow the precautions regarding rinsing and carefully drying the camera and made sure there was no dirt or sand in the access door when I closed it. Not sure if this is a repairable/common issue or not. As mentioned, I love the camera and have purchased many Panasonic cameras in the past. Can someone please advise me on how to proceed - either a fix or a trade. Thanks, Gib

After waiting weeks for this to ship, we were very disappointed in its performance and returned it. Like its predecessors (I own the TS3), this camera is quite complex to use. Admittedly, I never figured out the 4K burst function and the video function didn't work every time (sometimes I recorded a video, sometimes I didn't). Regular photographs shot on the highest resolution produced only 180 dpi, so every shot is slightly pixelated. I understand the frustration with focus that other reviewers have mentioned, yet the criticism is somewhat unwarranted -- the instructions are very clear on the need to slightly depress the button, focus and then shoot. My landscape photos looked good. But on zoomed shots, it was nearly impossible to get a good focus (even with the macro enabled). While I did get a few good shots during three different occasions, I had to toss at least a third due to focus issues and pixelated images. When every shot counts, that's too much to risk.

I have tried every setting on this camera while trying to obtain a sharp image. Even with 0% magnification of images finds them soft. Any zooming into the frame immediately and vividly displays the weakness of the focus. I am very disappointed. In the process of giving this inadequate instrument every chance, I let my 30 day return slip away. It will cost me $90 for "restocking," but I will take it because this irreparable junk.

Love it

Bought this camera for our trip to Exuma. Unfortunately about 20% of all pictures come not in focus. I didn't played much with the settings, just left it at intelligent auto.

Love having evf. Heavier than previous model ,TS5. Have to adjust reach for telephoto toggle. Features similar to other Lumix models. Wifi connection setup not user friendly, have to turn on through menu rather than button on back like TS5

Purchased the Japanese model. Upgraded firmware to 1.3. Camera performed well. Looking forward to trying underwater at depths would flood its competitors.Update: took it diving in the Silfra fissure in Iceland. Bottom line. Glad I bought this camera. Added some more photos.
