Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3
Competitors

As well as being compared against other waterproofs and compacts, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 is also often compared to travel zooms. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3's top rivals come from Panasonic (such as the Lumix TS4 and the Lumix TS20) and Nikon (such as the Coolpix AW100 and the Coolpix S30)

Generally, some of the advantages of the Panasonic DMC-TS3 compared to other waterproof competitors include: it has a slightly wider aperture (f/3.3 vs f/3.9), records higher quality movies (1080p @ 30fps vs 720p @ 30fps), has a built-in GPS, is more popular and much longer exposures (60 seconds vs 8 seconds).

However, on average it has a slightly smaller screen (2.7" vs 3.0"), has a significantly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 920k dots), is slightly larger (compact 104x63x27 mm vs compact 96x63x23 mm), slightly lower maximum light sensitivity (1,600 ISO vs 3,200 ISO) and has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS).
