Good for underwater shooting - hiker - who is a little cautious can much enjoy it ..

The Panasonic DMC FT5 I brought to complement my SLR to holiday not always to squint with a worried eye on my camera .. I wanted a good complement with which I have to deal with less considerate.
Through various reviews I have become aware of the Panasonic ...

So far, she came to Curacao while snorkeling used here has 10 days and 6 dives survived in salt water - only basic requirement that you should fulfill this - really examine the flap carefully before each dive - who pays attention here that included no dust or even in the seal will last a lifetime at the camera have.
On the beach I was too insecure, so I made the camera always ready to start in the apartment.
After the dive I have the camera as described in the instructions for 10 min. Placed in fresh water to clean them.
The use underwater to work as soon as the water feels easily. At the beginning I was a little unsure - which had much more to do with the unfamiliar environment. The keys are relatively small but it handy.

The only what you really need to watch underwater in my opinion is the shutter - this is only closed with a double slide mechanism, you should could so the camera handle carelessly on the side to loosen the flap and then the camera would be definitely over.

The wifi connection works anstandlos with the appropriate app (both Android and iOS). The image quality underwater is really ok - of course I can not expect sharp SLR comparable photos but the photos are quite presentable and loved ones at home can give an impression of diving paradise Curacao; o)

Even a tour of Canada has weathered the camera anstandlos - here they had to contend with freezing temperatures (at times) and has also since not geruckelt or gezickt.
Here it is while hiking (I was probably a little too reckless) fell once out of my backpack and fell on stony ground - the fall it has relatively unscathed - a few scratches in disguise - but otherwise all right.

Generally I find the camera well. Anyone looking for a nice toy is to go to preserve the good SLR or simply want to make a few "jecke" underwater shots is well served with this camera.
If you treat them with care by manual should not happen - but here really great care and attention to every speck of dust - otherwise trouble is inevitable.
Razor-sharp shooting in which you can zoom in to the smallest detail, however, you should not expect ...

+ Very robust and stable
+ Photo quality was okay
+ Underwater Suitable
+ Good wifi connection

- Easy to open flap by careless handling, diving requires some concentration not accidentally do this
