Generally, some of the advantages of the Panasonic DMC-TS10 compared to other compact competitors include: it has better image stabilization (lens vs none), takes significantly higher resolution photos (9.8 MP vs 6.1 MP), is newer (july, 2010 vs february, 2005), slightly higher boost light sensitivity (6,400 ISO vs none) and is waterproof.
However, on average it has a significantly narrower aperture (f/3.5 vs f/2.7), records lower quality movies (720p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 24fps), has a much narrower wide angle lens (35 mm vs 28 mm), has a slightly smaller screen (2.7" vs 3.0") and doesn't record high-speed movies (none vs 240 fps).
