Rugged Dustproof Waterproof Camera Hot Deal

Panasonic Lumix TS3 Rugged Digital Camera

A while back we talked about the Panasonic TS2, a rugged camera suitable for jobsite use. A couple of months later, the Pansonic Lumix TS3 came out, and we ordered one for general purpose and workshop use.

Let me tell you, the camera is downright amazing. While we have not yet put its impact-resistance to the test, we showered it in water, sawdust, and shavings of all kind with no ill-effect. This is downright one of the toughest and most durable gadgets we have ever seen.

When it came out, the Lumix TS3 was priced at about $360-$380. Back in June we paid about $335 for the camera, and it has dropped in price a few times since then. A few days ago, Amazon announced a new limited time promotion on select Panasonic cameras, and the TS3 dropped down in price from ~$300 to $270.

Although primarily marketed towards hikers and outdoors enthusiasts, we found the TS3 to be great for jobsite and workshop use as it is nearly impervious to dust and debris.

Our only minor complaint is that videos are not stored in the same folder as photos, requiring us to delete the internal playlist after every couple of imports.

Check price or purchase via Amazon
