Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1
Competitors

As well as being compared against other waterproofs and compacts, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 is also often compared to travel zooms. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1's top rivals come from Panasonic (such as the Lumix DMC-TS3 and the Lumix TS4) and Canon (such as the PowerShot D20 and the PowerShot SX260 HS)

Generally, some of the advantages of the Panasonic DMC-TS1 compared to other waterproof competitors include: it is slightly smaller (compact 98x63x23 mm vs compact 103x64x27 mm), has a faster max shutter speed (1/3000 of a second vs 1/1300 of a second) and slightly longer exposures (60 seconds vs 15 seconds).

However, on average it records lower quality movies (720p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 24fps), doesn't record high-speed movies (none vs 240 fps), doesn't record movies in 24p, has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS) and lacks a built in panoramas.
