Lumix TS2-Bang for the Buck

[Michael Folise]

I haven't seen a thread on the TS2. It can be had for less than $300.00 U.S. and the housing for less than $140.00. Also you don't have to worry if the housing leaks. Small enough for a BC pocket and can use without the housing for snorkeling. Pictures are ok except you can't keep the camera from picking ISO 400 which is noisy. Movies are great.

Anybody know if the TS2 uses the OLy flash protocol? I am thinking about buying an Oly UFL1 and wondering if it will work with the TS2. I know that the Lumix 4/3 and u 4/3 follow Oly flash protocol (probably LX3/5 as well) but I don't know about the Lumix point and shoots.

thanks

Update, housing for DMW-MCFT-2 is now $239 at B & H. Ts2 is $259. So together about $500.00.
