News on the P&S Search

This past weekend while I was home I began investigating a new point and shoot camera that would endure the abuse subjected to it by an athlete. For what seems to be an increasing market with more and more "large" electronics/camera manufactures joining in, today there was an exciting announcement from Panasonic about the Lumix DMC-TS2, an update to their initial rugged camera, the Lumix TS.

The camera features 14.1 MP, HD video, and 6x optical zoom as well as meeting my standards for waterproof (10 meters), shockproof (2m), and freeze proof (14 F).
