I purchased this camera one year ago. the camera this year died. Here are my impressions on this short lived camera:
Pros: Good image quality, Adequate flash, Portability
Cons: Did not survive underwater, Subjects looked rather severe with flash, holding the camera was not very easy because of its size/shape
The battery/SD card compartment was not water tight. It allolwed seawater to enter as soon as the camera entered the water.
thats not the f10 u retard
its 10m water depth and 2 mertres shock proof…
its a dance party at 6:50!!!!
really nice review. really peaceful and informative. until 6:50, of course.
Great Cam I recommend it any day.
Don’t buy this cam…some internal parts of mine are oxidized…after 6 month of carefull use…Panasonic doesn’t want to change this parts and said that IS NORMAL…yea rigth, very “NORMAL” (and reliable) have a waterproof camera with internal parts oxidized!!!!! I´m very disappointed with Panasonic, Lumix brand and costumer service!
yep
oh and i got this camera for my bday, so if you want to check out my newest videos the camera i use the dmc-ft1 
how do you use the panorama function?
is there zooom in video?
hey guys! so ive been commenting this video regularly! and i finally got the camera! it’s brilliant
is olympus waterproof?
OMFG WHAT THE FUCKING BAGJESUS!
I didn’t realise that it made that huge box so tiny.
Perfect!
((( I HAVE one FT1 !!!… My OPINION about FT1 Is Really A GREAT small CAMERA and VIDEO HD …I’m REALLY VERY HAPPY !!! always with me on my pocket ! I do some small video TEST You Can see on my Page ! watch !
I can’t seem to figure out how to upload the HD video to YouTube either!
oh my goodness! look at 5:13, the camera and the actual box! woah it has a really big lens!!
i was just reading up about that, but all i could find was that running on one battery, you can take up to 340 pictures x
@mamaspolo it depends if you want HD video recording or not, which is one of the features of the Panasonic Lumix Ft1.
However, the Olympus is up to 10m waterproof and shockproof to 3 m, which is greater than the Panasonic Lumix which can only go up to 3 m waterproof and 1.5 m shockproof.
For my birthday Im receiving a Panasonic Lumix Ft1, which I’m very excited about!! Because it is the only compact camera to have AVCHD recording
so it depends on what you prefer, hope that helped x
hi how many mins hd video recording one full battery??
u an argue they both have ups and downs
crack up tho! made me laugh when it so randomly kicked in!!
olympus had 11 different models, and i think they have perfected it, i have the 6000 myself, and i love it. lumix is O.K. but really isnt all that.

What the hell is with the music at 6:50? I cant even hear what he is saying!
No I think it is for all versions. It has nothing to do with overheating or memory card sizes since SDHC cards now go right up to 32GB. It is indeed a fact that if a camera records more than 15 mins of HD video it’s classified as having camcorder functionalities and thus levies more taxes.
It may have something to do with heat tolerances, or other considerations. The early DSLRs with HD video overheat if you record with them too long.
They may also wish to not have the camera compete *too* well with their camcorder lines.
