Panasonic TS20 review, find out how the TS20 stacks up against the competition in our real-world review with in-depth image quality comparisons.
Panasonic has updated its less rugged, more stylish tough model - the DMC-TS20. The TS20 (FT20 outside North America) replaces the TS10 and offers a more useful 25-100mm equivalent lens than its predecessor's 35-140mm equiv unit. It's built around a 16MP CCD sensor that limits it to 720p video but this does come in the easy-to-use MP4 format. Despite its less butch styling, the TS20 is still waterproof to 5m (16') and shockproof from a height of around 1.5m (5'), which should see it withstand relatively carefree use.

While the FT20 is nothing to write home about, it's a perfectly serviceable tough camera that can easily slide into a pocket.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT20 is a new all-action digital camera. The Panasonic FT20 (also known as the TS20) offers freeze, shock, water and dust proof capabilities, plus 16 megapixel photos and 720p video. Read our Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT20 review to find out if this is the right tough camera for you.
Panasonic TS20 is a 16.0MP Waterproof camera with a 1/2.3-inch sized CCD sensor and 25-100 mm F3.9-5.7 lens. Read our TS20 review to find its pros and cons.
A keenly priced rugged, waterproof camera that takes respectable photos and videos
If you're looking for a rugged pocket shooter that you can take anywhere without worry, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS20 is an inexpensive option. Its lens isn't the sharpest, and noise reduction smears away image detail at higher ISOs, but the camera performs admirably in good light.
