Look Yonder
PANASONIC LUMIX TS2: Nothing reduces a grown geek to tears quite like a broken gadget, but fear not with this camera, because it packs some serious machismo. Shockproof up to 10 feet, waterproof to 33 feet and freeze- proof down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit, the 14. 1 megapixel Lumix can take a licking
and keep on clicking, recording still and
video images with a 28-millimeter lens
that packs a 4.6x optical zoom. But it’s
not just the thicker, tougher casing that
makes this shooter stand out. An LED
light helps it illuminate the scene (even
underwater), its sonic speed autofocus
functionality snaps pictures in as little
as 0.005 seconds, and the Lumix’s
“happy mode” optimizes color and
brightness to create a picture
as vibrant as its memory
is vivid. $399; panasonic.com
