The price of most digital cameras tend to trend downwards over time, and the same price drop should occur in the case of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 (DMC-FT1) compact digital camera, the world’s first waterproof, drop-proof, shock-proof and dust-proof digital camera to also feature AVCHD Lite High Definition (HD) video recording capabilities.
I’m not planning for any scheduled updates, but do check back here from time to time for the latest and best prices on the Panasonic DMC-TS1 and related accessories.
The TS1 comes in three colors, orange, silver and sea green, and the price may vary between them.

Typical accessories for the TS1
Panasonic DMW-BCF10 Lithium Ion Rechargeable Battery Pack. Get a second, backup battery for your TS1 / FT1. This way, you can be sure your camera continues to have a power source during extended shooting sessions.
For storage, the TS1 / FT1 uses SD or SDHC cards.
Refer to Rob Galbraith’s SD / SDHC card write speed tests (done on a Nikon D90) to get an idea on the relative write and read speeds of different brands of cards. At the time of writing (Oct 29, 2009), the SanDisk Extreme III SDHC cards occupy the top two spots.
To ensure smooth recording of video and high resolution images, go for Class 6 or faster cards.
Good luck shopping for your Panasonic DMC-TS1!
