Too Complicated, never focused

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2023

I used the TSC5 (went through 2 of them) in Whitewater for 7 years with rave reviews from all my friends. I took thousands of great action shots. Then I got this one and lost all that. This camera fails to focus. I tried and tried and tried and could never get good still pics with this camera - always blurry. I could never figure out the 4k burst feature either. I went from a very successful Whitewater photo taker to a dismal one with this switch. Truth is I went back to my old TSC5, which is all beat up. I feel like this camera should come with an expert instructor. It killed Whitewater photo taking for me.

Wonderful underwater camera but.......

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2020

Color: OrangeVerified Purchase

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

SOFT FOCUS ON ALL PICTURES

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2018

Color: OrangeVerified Purchase

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.

Shake down for two days... Impressed

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.

Get the firmware update to cure autofocus!

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2019

Color: Blue

Excellent ergonomics, great photos once the firmware has been updated, and it has a viewfinder!
All the reviews you see for this camera were based on the original firmware release. Autofocus was terrible.
Panasonic released a fix in October 2108. Easy to apply and the camera is transformed.

Complicated, Low Resolution, Low Quality

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2018

Color: BlueVerified Purchase

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.

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
