What is the best color? Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2 14.1 MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 4.6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom with 2.7-Inch LCD (Silver) What color should I buy?

On the basis that it is a camera and not a fashion accessory, buy it in the cheapest color!

I went with the Panasonic. According to consumer reports the panasonic blows the sony away in color. Sony only has a 3.3 camera meg as well compared to the 5 of the panasonic. The only place where the sony won out was battery life but extra batteries for the panasonic is only 44 dollars on amazon.

It is the newest, least expensive and I think the most attractive of the rugged series (720, 770 and 790). I think the 720 screen could be viewed better in direct sunlight, the 770 you can have in deeper water (waterproof 33 ft vs. 790's 10 feet). But of the three, the 790 is the one I'm buying- it looks the best and fulfills my need of being a camera I can take to the pool and on vacation and can even drop (having previously broken a Kodak and a Canon camera due to my clumsy nature) without ruining.

I think both are great for video and stills. I chose the Lumix because I work with a Panasonic GH3. Prime lenses are better for definition and color

I am also comparing these 2 Cameras. I want to use for Snorkeling and Beach pictures on our upcoming cruise. My preference is for Quality Underwater Photos over how stylish the actual camera is. Also, I am looking for the one with the Best Zoom Capabilities.......Anyone out there own one of these cameras ???

Always go with a viewfinder if you can. The giant screen on this camera is a treat, but if you break your screen, you're done.I had an awesome Panasonic Lumix that I shut in my car door... the good news is that this accident brought me my baby- the Canon Powershot S2 is, but still! At least a viewfinder gives you a backup.

I think the skin tones are great. But this is subjective. So it is hard to say how you would like it. I like the Fuji colors. They are realistic...unlike the Olympus colors which seem to put an orange/warming filter cast on everything.

I'm researching the same question that you are. A friend mentioned the need for bright light and/or "image stabilization" at the higher zoom levels. So, while the 6x zoom could be useful for outside "vacation scenery" conditions, I'm leaning towards the increased megapixels and lower cost of the A620.By the way, Panasonic seems to have the most to offer in image stabilized digital cameras. But I'm probably not going to get one this time.

I bought that for a friend last year in another state, however, I never got any feedback in regards to that camera. I did buy a different camera for another friend - Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS25 16.1 MP Tough Digital Camera with 8x Intelligent Zoom. She told me that she loved it (and it did take great pics and videos). However, the only thing that was missing was a charger for the battery. I guess that had to be purchased separately.

It is not such a question of purpose but a question of megapixels and video quality. Both have waterproof casing and accesories but the real diference between black and silver editions is the video quality (4K vs 1080p) and photography resolution (12MP vs 10MP). Maybe you'd need a floaty backdoor if you're going scuba diving. Hope it helps.

Regarding color modes, the camera has the following: Standard color, Vivid color, Black-and-white, Sepia, and Cyanotype.

Based on brand, i would go for the panasonci lumix... I do not go for sony because they have their own stick which makes their products so pricey. I am gadgetholic owning several cameras, kodak, samsung, canon, and panasonic. I used to prefer kodak for their price and simplicity, and then i found out panasonic although reluctantly since i consider it a little bit pricey. Then earning a little more, I gifted myself with a canon - and my favorite of all.. PANASONIC!!!

Hi Kellie I bought this one and love it- and the colors are just dark enough and muted my bf thinks its totally cool!! He "steals" my camera all the time lol!

The outdoor colors are very good. I have it outside our front door, and have some software snap three shots while panning when motion is detected. Like the other comments here, I'm very pleased with this camera.

I suggest getting the flat lens housing. You get better video above and below water and the filters will help with color underwater, lights are really the best though.

I'm also trying to decide between the Nikon Coolpix P90 and Olympus sp590uz. I mostly take pictures of wildlife, but need an occasional picture of family or knitting projects in doors. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks,

I have the DMC-ZS20, and I've found it to be fully suitable for my needs. Has a fully manual option, as well as aperture and shutter priorities, and the automatic mode works great too. Also has a suite of built in shooting "scenes", one of which is specifically for underwater. This mode has my pictures from dives already looking decently colorful even before doing any correction. It is still just a point and shoot, so it doesn't have the largest sensor and can struggle in low light, but for amateur underwater photography I've found it to be an awesome camera/case combo.
