Lumix TS5 vs Nikon AW110

[Howie411]

Anyone got any info on either of these? Currently I'm just using a Canon Elph with a waterproof case, but I'd like to purchase a fully waterproof camera, and then have a case for "deep dives".

As far as I can tell they are both pretty similar, but only the Panasonic looks like it has a waterproof case you can buy. But I'm a bit worred based on the reviews of the TS4.

Any info anyone has would be great.

Thanks

No idea on the TS5 but love love my TS3. The people I know personally who have the TS4 haven't had any problems with theirs, but I haven't used one much at all.

Did you ever use an enclosure with your TS3 or was it all just by itself?

I didn't bother with the housing. Just the camera - I was after smallest possible for my needs and didn't want extra bulk

BTW I don't think the TS5 is available yet?

Thanks, the TS5 just was released like 2 or 3 days ago, so still waiting to see some reviews on it.

I've had the AW100 (rated to 39 ft.) for a year and have taken excellent photos with it down to 50+ feet. At about 60 feet it shuts down and upon going back to about 40 feet, it works again...never had a problem with it and it takes excellent photos and video. I'm about to
get the AW110 because of the confidence I have that it should easily work to 70 feet (it's rated to 59 ft.) and that's more than enough depth for what I like to photograph on average. JMHO - Good luck with your search unless you already bought something. Both cameras are excellent choices...just depends on how deep you want to go and which operation you like the best.
