Hmmm, since both my Olympus SW1030 are showing signs of premature oxidization and mulfunction (sent in for repair under warranty) it looks like the TS1 is going on the shortlist as my next waterproof camera.
Thank you for letting us know of your experience with Panasonic and for posting the great footage.

Hey GnarlyD, the RAW footage is amazing. The camera takes HD Video so it is extremely crips – this one video I ran through a file converter, an ordinary editor, and then YouTube, so it is a very poor reflection of the original quality.

I like the video.
Good commentary too Fatpaddler.
What you need is one of these: http://www.austinkayak.com/products/1115/Can-Panion-Cup-Holder.html
I saw you nearly spill that java…

The footage that the TS1 gives seems of better quality than my Olymus SW1030 but it’s only Youtube and hard to compare.
If you get a camera mount for your deck you can film a bit of yourself as well.
